Let me guess, this can’t happen in Julia because memory is always initialized? Sounds like a performance hit if you know what you’re doing, so maybe you can use uninitialized memory in Julia and run into the same bug. Perhaps Julia makes it easy to use LLVM sanitizers? But you could’ve done this with your C code as well.
- Certhas 8y agoThe bug could totally happen in Julia. The point was your question: "What happens for that scientist when they have to dive into Julia’a stack to debug something weird?" And then claimed that this was somehow better in Python + C, which is not my experience. I expect this to be easier in Julia than in Python and C. I totally agree that the tooling is not where it needs to be, btw, but now that the target has stopped moving I expect it to get there soon.
