> No version of Julia could even compile the example of the Julia book I bought, nor some of its own tutoials. This was either many years ago, or is a skill issue. Post-1.0 Julia backwards compatibility isn't perfect, but it's held to a high standard. Being unable to run its own tutorials is not a thing that actually happens, and the language isn't responsible for bugs in whatever book you were referring to. If this was pre-1.0, sure, that's what a version starting with 0 means. But after? Skill issue.
