In the REPL, to test some code, I often do things like julia> a = 0 0 julia> for i=1:3 a+=i end But under Julia 1.0 this will now throw an error ERROR: UndefVarError: a not defined Stacktrace: [1] top-level scope at ./REPL[2]:2 [inlined] [2] top-level scope at ./none:0 The f…

Just use IJulia . It will have the same “feel” as v0.6. Also, it wouldn’t hurt just trying to learn the new scoping rule…

IJulia does not give me the speed that I need for my calculations. I need a local installation with a lot of help from the GPU. That’s why I ended up going from IJulia (0.x) notebooks on the web to the desktop. That’s how I landed with JuliaPro 1.x I got some help with scoping a simple loop this mo…

Thanks for this. I’ll check it out. If SoftGlobalScope.jl does the job, I’ll be back and we’ll have a party. I have to say that in the meantime, I’ve already got a body part or two in the jaws of Mathematica. Wish me luck.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I had thought it did.

Aahhh. That sounds promising. Thanks.:grinning:
