I think everyone involved with Julia agrees that this is something that eventually needs to work, although it is not as big of a deal if you are loading code from disk, as opposed to writing functions at the REPL. See https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/265 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/265.
- Stubb 13y agoThat's the issues thread that I included in my initial post. Quoting from it: "When you redefine a method, the resulting behavior is undefined." And these people expect to be taken seriously? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here. The honest approach would be to forbid redefining functions. This issue was brought to my attention by pals who had investigated Julia and rejected it for this very reason. No way I'll use it for anything. And that will be my recommendation to anyone who asks me about it.

- Stubb 13y agoNope, I should buy them beers since Julia is wholly unsuited for what I'm trying to do, which is interactive network performance analysis and interactive development of ionospheric ray-tracing code. It's funny: I've forwarded this issue to several pals with experience in language & compiler design, and to a man they were dismayed that something so basic was going unfixed or was even broken in the first place.
