TL;DR An old(ish) guy looking for a meaningful application of his modest coding skills. whoami A semi-retired R&D engineer: “tangible things engineer”, not “software engineer”, with broad (not necessary deep) knowledge and hands-on experience in Physics / Material Science / Chemistry as well as el…

[image] juliohm: make a single package for chemistry work in Julia I don’t see that as realistic. ChemFormulae.jl was a pretty simple thing made within a couple of days, but that was just at the at the entrance of an endless rabbit hole :slight_smile: - and for a descent into a rabbit hole I…

I remember coming across Waluigi.jl once upon a time! I thought it was such a great initiative but sorry to hear it got cancelled! That said, let me also CC @jpsamaroo and @pszufe as I think they’ve also been looking at something related to this discussion; maybe they might have more thoughts to add…

Ah whoops – I was more getting at the fact that it sounds like you have exposure to a lot of various domains but I can see my contradiction in :joy: :man_facepalming:

[image] TheCedarPrince: I would personally love something like the targets R package within Julia for reproducible analysis pipelines. [image] mrufsvold: I started working on that with Waluigi.jl , but the project I was making it for got cancelled, so I haven’t had time to work on it. W…

First of all thank you for your motivation! I agree with @Krastanov that general Julia tooling is likely to have the most impact, so I wouldn’t necessarily encourage personal scientific projects to pile up here, especially if they’re outside of your expertise. [image] Eben60: One idea is a GUI…

[image] Eben60: I’d like to start some project of general use for the Julia community of some part of it. Ideally I’d work mostly independently, but with some support from those who are interested in the results. [image] Why is LoopVectorization deprecated? Performance …

My original intent was to keep Waluigi.jl’s backend generic so that people could use Dask.jl directly, have it construct DataToolkit.jl projects, or use some not-yet-existing backend that uses SQS queues and such. When I read the docs of DataToolkit.jl, I get the sense that its audience is scientis…

[image] gdalle: I agree with @Krastanov that general Julia tooling is likely to have the most impact, so I wouldn’t necessarily encourage personal scientific projects to pile up here, especially if they’re outside of your expertise. The VSCode extension for Julia is another potential candidat…

I think kept alive is the right word :wink: The initial authors are gone and most people who have put some time into it also haven’t committed in a long time…

[image] Eben60: One idea is a GUI for creation of Julia projects or packages. Would be fantastic if the GUI is accessible within VSCode, e.g. as an extension. Imagine just clicking the menu “Project” → “New Project”. Once a project has been created already, a GUI package manager would be nic…
