Hello. I’m new to Julia and am glad y’all have created such a programming language. However, when learning the syntax, I had the same problem as mentioned here . Programming is a bit less stressful when certain symbols are easy to type, when the code is easy to read and when lesser nuances of the sy…

Unless your goal is to start a team that is developing an AI driven IDE I think this might be beyond the scope of your OP. It sounds like you have a vision of the kind of syntax you want and I think you could accomplish a lot of this on your own with relative ease. Julia is really good at allowing u…

[image] Tamas_Papp: This is like reading a conversation between people who just heard about bicycles, and reason that the rider must inevitably fall over. Yes, this, 100% this :joy: :no_bicycles:

The only time you’d need it negated is in precisely the case where I did say (for set operations) where it does make more sense to use. not(a in b) is rather a pain to read, a \notin<tab> b is exactly the same to type (and yes, the file is also a bit smaller!). My point for for loops, etc. is simp…

Thanks for mentioning Emacs. What can be done with an IDE that Emacs can’t do?

I don’t recommend Emacs for Julia. It’s great for some languages (e.g., Clojure, coq), shines for any language that has no mainstream IDE support (e.g., zsh), and plain-text (org-mode seems unparalleled). But Emacs can’t compete with Julia’s VSCode extension. That extension has superb support: hover…

VSCode - agh. My shoulders ache and I get an ache in the eye too. But then I program almost exclusively in C with 0.1% Fortran and Bash scripts. Probably IDEs are better for Object oriented programming where one has to deal with a large number of libraries. Thanks anyways. I am planning to learn J…

[image] Anil_Joshi: Thanks for mentioning Emacs. What can be done with an IDE that Emacs can’t do? If there is something, I haven’t really encountered it yet. I love emacs for julia development and see no reason to change. I mostly use emacs-jupyter in org notebooks as essentially a REPL / sc…

Maybe I need to start looking at emacs-jupyter. The julia-repl is not great for me. Often it sort of leaves droppings around the screen or swallows error messages or things. It’s particularly bad when there are backtraces, which show on the screen but are long enough that when you scroll back… it tu…

[image] dlakelan: Can I work in emacs-jupyter with julia markdown for Weave files? That’d be cool. I haven’t tried, but I suspect that if it doesn’t work out of the box it’d be pretty easy to get working. The basic model is that jupyter-emacs will spawn a jupyter kernel and then offer a few d…
