In this thread I’d like to share my list of most desired features for Julia v1.x: The ability to manipulate types in a parametric type as discussed here (see also #18466 ) Interfaces or traits: #6975 Default field values: #10146 With these features I should be near 100% happy with the language, …

I haven’t seen many breaking core changes on this list. Which is great! Keep in mind that this dev cycle is the last chance for serious breakage before 1.0. Don’t forget that many of the awesome suggestions here can (and probably will) appear in 1.1, 1.2, etc. When I read the title of this thread, …

[image] andyferris: Regarding “static” code and static compilation, I have oftened wondered if there could be an annotation or style that avoids dynamic dispatch, so you could package a executable with no Julia interpretter or compiler (and that provably will work without one). The idea would be…

[image] DNF: I get your point, but desires for version 1.0 is also partly about what people want soon. Being told that the debugger will come in ‘version 1.x’ is perhaps satisfying from a theoretical point of view, but for some (like me) we want the debugger “yesterday” (actually, I would like i…

I’d like to be able to get prints on remote workers.

I want an interface / abstract type with declared, but not defined functions / traits with declared, but not defined functions Many people say that this is not needed, but as a writer of libraries I disagree. Currently I have to write a simulator where users can input their own modules and if the …

Here is my wish list that will make Julia even more awesome than it currently is. I would like to be able to view all functions in a module with an argument of a certain type, something like the methods of a class but in Julia logic. Also a full support of sparse matrices where normal matrices are…
