I agree on the promise (perhaps already realized) of Julia. The library ecosystem there is so, so incredible. The language is custom formed to it's intended domain of numerical computation. I've been trying to ween myself off of python for these purposes.
Needless to say, my pushing of Julia also meets with a great deal of pushback. I have also had some setbacks. The 1.0 changes hurt my learning a bit. I don't like how it doesn't play well with brew. I feel like it is forcing me a bit into a Jupyter notebook style, which is not my favorite. All of these are small quibbles ultimately.
- adamnemecek 7y agoUse juno. I was in the same sitch re 1.0 update, it's gotten better. Why do you need brew interop?
- philzook 7y agoA small quibble. I hate downloading binaries from websites. I hate ever going outside my package manager. I want to be able to get the latest version. I think many people prefer Julia the way it is.
- adamnemecek 7y agoYou can use brew https://julialang.org/downloads/platform.html https://julialang.org/downloads/platform.html
- philzook 7y agoWelp, my apologies. I'm a doof.
