I do not know enough about machine learning to ask an informed question. I am not even sure whether this a Machine Learning question. Maybe.
I will tell you what I want to achieve in the end:
In short we want to classify data based on text. The process will be unsupervised machine learning. The data will be abstracts, keywords, titles of scientific publications. We want to develop a meaningful subject classification system based on phrases and distance between words in the data.
I know that Python has a well developed nltk and good tutorials and I still know Python better than Julia, but I will prefer to do this in Julia. Unfortunately a lot of related tools in Julia are not yet usable in v1.0. And then there are so many Julia Packages that I do not know where to start exploring.
I will appreciate some advice.

No. Thanks for the link.

and found that `matchall` was removed from Julia 1.0
[HISTORY.md](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/HISTORY.md) says:
`matchall` has been deprecated in favor of `collect(m.match for m in eachmatch(r, s))` ([#26071](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/26071)).
It seems ubelievable design decision at least at first look. 😜
But there seems to be mistake in HISTORY.md too:
```julia
matchall(r,s) = collect(m.match for m in eachmatch(r, s)) # this didn't work
matchall(r,s) = collect(m for m in eachmatch(r, s)) # this could help to run WebScraping.ipynb
```
A little problem could be `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` from stackexchange… (which is probably understandable)
