I have some older julia code I want to port to julia6.  
Is there something that helps me with replacing deleted functions for example?

Most of the time the standard deprecation warnings should give a hand with this?

Isn’t there something to automatically replace things like int → Int or int() → convert(Int,…) ?

VSCode can the help a little with that:

Then right-click on the bulb and it gives you the option to “Fix all similar deprecations in this file”

OK, then nevermind. I thought there would maybe be something like 2to3 for python. Fortunately the code bas is not so big 🙂
