The analogue of this in Julia is the Logging standard library, which allows lots of control over message visibility and archiving.
For example:
julia> for i = 1:5
@info "Reached iteration $i"
end
[ Info: Reached iteration 1
[ Info: Reached iteration 2
[ Info: Reached iteration 3
[ Info: Reached iteration 4
[ Info: Reached iteration 5
julia> global_logger(ConsoleLogger(Warn));
julia> for i = 1:5
@info "Reached iteration $i"
end # no output anymore!
