I saw that eye has been deprecated in Julia v0.7. The message that appears is: Warning: `eye(m::Integer)` has been deprecated in favor of `I` and `Matrix` constructors. For a direct replacement, consider `Matrix(1.0I, m, m)` or `Matrix{Float64}(I, m, m)`. If `Float64` element type is not necessary,…

[image] stillyslalom: To be clear, I don’t have an issue with the changes themselves (except for linspace , RIP. linspace(0, pi ) is so much nicer for interactive use than range(0, stop=pi, length=50 ). This is temporarily worse than it will be in the future. With the deprecation removed in 1…

Ok so maybe rather than just my specific suggestions of contributing to the Wikibook and working on a MatlabToJulia.jl (or modernizing MatlabCompat.jl) is anyone interested in forming some sort of MATLAB/Julia users SIG which can do these sorts of things (including others’ probably better ideas than…

Count on me! 99,99% of the engineers at INPE (National Institute for Space Research) use MATLAB and an easy update path is required :slight_smile: I think MatlabCompat is fine. But we need to make it come back to life.

I’m sorry, my tone was a bit sharp. Most of the small handful of contributions I’ve made to the language and ecosystem have been docs-related, I’ve worked as an actual janitor, and I really do appreciate well-written documentation. I’m just looking forward to the ecosystem documentation/blogs/exampl…

Frankly I feel that Matlab developers have made a number of questionable choices over the years, and very rarely they made the effort to correct them. Consistency and obviousness is a great advantage of Julia!

[image] stillyslalom: Re: Matlab, I don’t think we need to copy the syntax, per se, but I’d like a Batteries.jl or KitchenSink.jl package that just reexports other packages to provide functionality on par with what’s built into Matlab. (FFTW, SpecialFunctions, Plots, LinearAlgebra, Images, DataF…

[image] airpmb: @StefanKarpinski could we get perhaps a subcategory of Development? I’m not Stefan, but I’m also a moderator here — why don’t you start with a new thread and if there’s sufficient interest/traffic we can expand it out to a subcategory. Really, though, I think this would be be…

On a related note, could someone post a one-liner that creates a dense Float64 identity matrix in both 0.6 and 0.7 with no deprecation warnings? Here is what I using now: eye1 = zeros(n,n) for i = 1 : n eye1[i,i] = 1.0 end

With Compat you can use Matrix{Float64}(I, n, n) on both versions.

Why `eye` has been deprecated?
