List of working packages on v. 1.0

Perhaps you meant that some packages don’t work, not “Julia”, which is the language/binaries and is usually pretty stable (for the released version).

I am not sure we should be assuming responsibility for unrealistic expectations of other people. In any case, being grownups, they are free to download Julia, invest a bit of time into learning the language, and then decide for themselves.

If someone expects a polished set of packages that they can just use as a plug-in replacement for their existing workflow in language X, and refuses to put any effort into fixing issues, they may be disappointed with Julia at the moment. But at the same time, it is also unclear what the community would benefit from users like that.

BTW, what @ChrisRackauckas writes at the end of this post (“The Evolution …”) is also very relevant here.
