Is there any ETL GUI addon or package for Julia?  
Or any tool such as Knime, Tableau, Rapidminer… able to run Julia code integrating properly the results (numeric, plots, file operations…)?

That would greatly increase the number of Julia users.

Anyway I understand most advanced Julia features aren’t easy to convert to a ETL equivalent. Though some basic features to import/export, data manipulation and plots would be great.

I would posit that most people here don’t tend to have workflows that use graphical tools like DataMiner or KNIME. In any case, that kind of environment usually gets built on top of a language (like KNIME on Java) rather than being a core part of it.

That’s why I’m not speaking about integrating it as a core feature but having a package. Or event knowing if there is a third party software.

Before having graphical ETL tools, Julia really needs to have better ETL tools period.  
There is still a lot of work to be done with JSON, XML, CSV parsers, fast access to different databases,  
and dealing with issues such as string encodings in all of those.

I also believe that good ETL tools for Julia could be a big help in increasing the number of Julia users.

I agree, I have the same idea.  
Create a dataflow where a box contain julia script with input and output.

It’s not directly linked but It’s should be a piece of package, something like I posted:

> [@Package similar to Ludwig](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/package-similar-to-ludwig/46731):

> Hi peeps, From long time ago I things do a solution to easily use ML & Deep Learning with Julia but I’m a newby in this domain. So I make research of No-Code / Low-Code AI / ML… I just found an existing open source project base on TensorFlow create by Uber AI : [Ludwig](https://ludwig-ai.github.io/)[https://eng.uber.com/introducing-ludwig/](https://eng.uber.com/introducing-ludwig/) Technicaly it’s what I have in head, I would add a UI like boxe with input/ouput and link between each one… Do you know if there is equivalent in Julia ? If not maybe you are…

But I agree with @ScottPJones There is still a lot of work to be done with JSON, XML, CSV parsers, fast access to different databases …

I’m not expert in Julia, but we could work together.
