mini ASK HN: would there be any interest in supporting Julia in Visual Studio? (as a free/oss plugin).
i lead the Python Tools for Visual Studio project at msft and would be curious if there is interest.
as a side note, if you do you use Python & require Python/C++ debugging, PTVS now supports it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJaKQ94lBY#t=10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJaKQ94lBY#t=10
- KenoFischer 13y agoAre you using the IPython protocol for communication with python? If so, extending it to julia should be fairly straight forward.
- smortaz 13y agowe are for the integrated IPython REPL. but my question was more in terms of intellisense, debugging, profiling, mixed julia/C++ debugging, etc. ie, a fully integrated experience in VS.
- iamed2 13y agoThe fully integrated experience you mention would do a lot for the Julia community in terms of gaining users tied to the GUI elements of MATLAB and VS for other languages. Integrated debugging and inspection in particular is a long-requested feature that has yet to see much attention. Integrating with Pkg as Julia Studio does would be another important feature, as well as providing some sort of integrated plotting/graphics widget (a backend canvas along with plot navigation and image export, ideally supporting more than one of Julia's plotting backends). I would certainly contribute to an alpha- or beta-testing effort :)
- Fede_V 13y agoThat would be fantastic, and I'd love to see that.
- xixi77 13y agoThat would be actually quite awesome.
- MrMan 13y agoThat would be amazing!
- bcj 13y agoI think that would significantly increase the odds that my company moves from MATLAB (as one of the big arguments against is the lack of a good IDE), so yes, I would be incredibly interested in Julia support.
