Python made a big break by going from Python2 to Python3. I haven’t seen much talk about Julia 2.0; the last threads that kind of referenced were from already from 2018. If 2.0 ever comes, I would like Julia to have several features: class inheritance and interface inheritance permanently fixing …

[image] Benny: methodswith can make massive lists of multimethods; class-based single dispatch’s limitation is exactly what makes this simpler and usable. If you don’t include base and only show specific methods for a custom struct (and maybe methods specific to its custom abstract type) from…

[image] Benny: Thing is, custom functions won’t belong to a preexisting class. C# has a nice solution for this with extension methods . They were specifically introduced for the kind of piping that LINQ requires.

[image] Kirby_Zhang: Julia 2.0 by becoming more robust and more general purpose, can become “casual C++” and gain mindshare over developers who don’t need the system language features of C/C++/Rust. You’ll probably find Jeff’s talk at CERN yesterday interesting — it’s explicitly about the ong…

[image] mbauman: You’ll probably find Jeff’s talk at CERN yesterday interesting — it’s explicitly about the ongoing work in making Julia attractive for C++ developers and use-cases. I hope the information from that talk ends up in a blog post on Julia lang’s website as well. I find it a bit d…

[image] co1emi11er: If you don’t include base and only show specific methods for a custom struct (and maybe methods specific to its custom abstract type) from the packages you are using, what is the most massive list you can find? It’s very manageable when the type or function isn’t part of a…

[image] Benny: Reflection like methodswith to find the “most relevant methods” is not at all the same thing. It can easily cover many more methods that aren’t bounded to a type, so it’s much more important to filter by module like you said. A much smarter UI than typical member completion’s is n…

[image] co1emi11er: I think we need the syntax like Pipe.jl or Chain.jl in julia base or at least just pick one to try and use in lsp Whether on the developer or the user side, we shouldn’t be forced to use particular syntax to just help answer the question “what can I do with an instance of …

I probably spend 50% of my time writing Julia code, and 25% TypeScript and Rust each these days. I’m a much better Julia programmer than TypeScript or Rust. But in my own subjective assessment, I’m way more productive when I’m writing TypeScript or Rust, and it is primarily due to the . method compl…

Then why not just merge Feat/methodswith dot completion by xgdgsc · Pull Request #3240 · julia-vscode/julia-vscode (github.com) ?

Is Julia 2.0 needed?

Setting a time limit for this thread, which is starting to become a generic thread on how Julia can become better / more popular. Time limits for unfocused discourse threads?
