- lucozade 9y agoI was aware, but thank you for the link. The fact that it can be used in an important use case is a necessary but not sufficient condition that it can replace the incumbents. Same goes for end user computing. Now, it gives me great confidence that, without the apparent short term focus of the core devs in this field, there has been such progress as Celeste. This is a good sign that the fundamentals are right. But I'm probably more encouraged that the community are focused on user experience and delivering an environment that scientists want to use. This is essential, IMO, and appears to be working well.
- tavert 9y agoShort term focused work on Celeste, by at least one of the core devs, came at a very significant opportunity cost of not having an up-to-date, usable Julia debugger.
- chappi42 9y agoThe Julia v0.5 debugger works. Why upgrade to v0.6 when the debugger is important? I'm sure the debugger will target v1.0. And maybe it was more fun (read interesting)to work on Celeste than to support short-lived intermediary versions?
