I want to like Julia but after a decade of Python, every time I try it, it’s a death by a thousand cuts (and outdated Google results). I just can’t afford to have productivity drop to near zero for the learning curve plus reimplement everything.
Also I ha e found multiple dispatch to be harder than regular OO methods to locate (for IDEs but grep also).
- kmundnic 8y agoHave you tried methods(some_function) or the @which macro?
- banku_brougham 8y agoYes - doing @edit(arg1,arg2,....) opens the file at the relevent method definition (ie version the same type arguments as given) in my editor. In the julia source code or my own modules.
- krull10 8y agoWhen I search Julia questions on Google I always restrict the search to the past year or six months. You are right that there is an enormous amount of irrelevant info out there from earlier versions of the language.
- rovr138 8y agoYou don’t have to reimplement all your python work from the get go. You can call python from Julia.
