Mojo is what you're thinking of
- ls612 2y agoI primarily use MATLAB and what stops me from using Julia is the package management. Also the VSCode extension has weird performance problems when trying to debug Julia code.
- adgjlsfhk1 2y ago> what stops me from using Julia is the package management. Can you expand on this? Julia's package manager IMO is one of the best parts of the language.
- ls612 2y agoI hate with a burning passion having to manage packages myself. MATLAB comes preinstalled with everything and the kitchen sink.
- adgjlsfhk1 2y agoFair enough. It probably would make sense to have a Conda like release of Julia that comes out every year with a broad but curated selection of packages.
- stillyslalom 2y agoLong ago, I trawled through Matlab's docs to come up with a set of Julia packages matching what's build into Matlab: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-for-matlab-users-club/12872/8 https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-for-matlab-users-clu... I don't think you'd actually want to include each of those packages in a standard distro: does the average user really need to programmatically send emails or deal with Voronoi tessellations? Probably not, but I still think there's value in a batteries-included approach, especially when working with students.
