Having unintentionally “thrown shade” and performed a “kvetchfest” in another thread, let me first apologise. I’m very happy with the improvements made in Julia, especially the interpreter and debugger, and am very much excited for future developments. That said, perhaps it would help ease frustrat…

[image] Compiler work priorities Internals & Design In response to I thought I might write a little post about the rough priorities of the compiler team: Correctness finding and fixing compiler and inference bugs Multithreading non-copying task stack switching (d…

Yes I know the post, but that was 6 months ago, so a lot has changed since then.

Yes, some issues at the top of the list have been addressed. Since “the time-to-first-plot problem” was not at the top of the list, I assume it comes later. That said, as eg documented in that thread, compile times improved markedly between 1.1 and what will be 1.2. Also, note that a lot of action…

AFAIU, not that much have changed. Not sure what answer you are looking for here, it is a known issue, it is on the priority list but not the currently the highest priority (and it has been improved a lot 1.0 → 1.1).

No one person can perform a “kvetchfest”—it’s a collective activity when everyone decides its a good time to complain about the same thing, which in this case is compiler latency—something that is already well known to be a problem. Unfortunately I’m not really the one to say more about it but I hav…

Thanks for the update, I look forward to future progress. Just to clarify, I’m less worried about “compile time” than the following two things: using time (the 2nd time, precompile time is not a concern). This effectively limits the “stack depth” of package dependencies, as at some point I’d rath…

[image] dlfivefifty: at some point I’d rather wait a year for Julia v1.7 than 20 seconds every time I am not sure what to make of these as alternatives — improvements arrive with the new releases (unless you follow eg master, but then you spend quite a bit of time compiling already). But giv…

[image] Tamas_Papp: I am not sure what to make of these as alternatives — improvements arrive with the new releases (unless you follow eg master , but then you spend quite a bit of time compiling already). Sorry, I was being facetious. The main question is “should I invest time in setting up …

Just my 2cents here: While the compiler latency and non-reactivity on REPL are closely coupled, i disagree that the complaints were targeted at compiler latency. The whole discussion is about: Are there creative solutions - outside of ‘just’ making the compiler faster - to give a more reactive REPL?…

The outline from Stefan’s post linked above is still broadly accurate. Our priority at the moment is multithreading, and as soon as that mostly works we will return to focusing on latency. Looking at the timeline of all this, I can’t help but agree that progress has been slower than I expected. Lat…

Not sure there is much more to say.
