A topic to informally discuss Julia programming or related technical projects that we’ve been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What’s interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
Great initiative! When it comes to Julia: Joovy.jl and my Flexible Julia plugin.
Flexible Julia is just a decent JetBrains IDE implementation for the language, with profiler, Jupyter/Pluto support, remote sessions, complete grammar reimplementation (on top of LS support) and various features too long to mention. Most recently I added an MCP server and Chat AI interface to make it easy to work with AI whilst there.
Joovy on the other hand is a project to optimize compilation times. It sits between the compiler and the IDE and tries to anticipate what to precompile when so that your actual runtime is faster. There are various methods surrounding it that I documented in another thread.
Lastly, I also work on & off on an In-IDE visual modeling plugin for Julia. It is sitting on my desk, but hard to complete without larger projects and some external feedback, so I only come back to it when I am in the right mood
