There were a few concerns I have about Julia packaging from this article and reading the docs http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/packages/ http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/packages/
* It looks like packages are installed in a global namespace that is shared by all projects. This seems like it will get messy when you try to run older and newer projects.
* The default way to add packages is to just Pkg.add("package-name"), this makes reproducible builds difficult. This is especially an issue with a language used in scientific contexts where reproducibility is extremely important.
Are there solutions to these issues that I can't see? I'm aware that Julia is a young language so I don't expect them to solve everything at once.
