Julia is a great language and was really useful in my PhD.
The #1 requirement I have is the ability to make binaries for some program. You can compile a C program and get a binary. There's no practical equivalent for Julia at the moment and I think this limits its production potential.

- conjectures 8y agoHaha, great! The aim the speaker announces is indeed what I wanted. Not had chance to how nicely PackageCompiler.jl works but am hopeful :)
- dnautics 8y agothese days you can just put it into a container, though! If docker is a problem bc no ability to install root daemons, I can attest that julia works great with singularity ("with one small problem - you can't trivially have both in-container and in-home-directory libraries") and I have deployed to supercomputers for real research purposes, using it.
- conjectures 8y agoInteresting environment. One of the reasons I used Julia in academia was slurm manager ;)
