> That said, it’s common to find many Julia packages that are only half-maintained and don’t really work anymore. On this specific point, it's worth noting that up until now there's been a single massive repository of every Julia package ever published, regardless of its current state or utility. Starting with the upcoming 0.7 release, Julia will introduce the concept of "curated" repositories so that, going forward, if you stick just with the default curated repository of packages you should have much less chance of running into a broken or unmaintained package.
