Replacing MATLAB/Octave with Julia

That being said, most people in Julia use other workflow styles. See also the thread: Best practise: organising code in Julia - #2 by stevengj

If you want to work quasi-interactively and see lots of intermediate outputs, one alternative is to use a Jupyter notebook (IJulia.jl) or Pluto notebook (Pluto.jl) — every code block in its own cell gets a displayed output saved in the notebook, and you can easily go back and edit and view intermediate steps without necessarily re-running the whole thing (though Pluto automatically re-runs all downstream calculations).
