Interesting comparison! The criticism of julia is certainly valid, especially in terms of documentation. However, I wouldn't say that core language documentation should necessarily be geared towards any specific field. In the implement

Yes, the size in memory is definitely an issue. Do keep in mind that right now, the julia executable more or less just has to load all of LLVM as a shared object into memory, since we might compile stuff at any time. That alone adds ~84M of

Aside from me disagreeing with this article here in that I don't think "all of julia is incorrect" is a valid take from Yuri's original article, I'm not sure how you arrive at "if branches don't do what I

True in principle, but that is neither related to multiple dispatch nor a common feature in other languages. Dependent typing is very much active research in PL academia. The @inbounds kerfuffle was all about incorrectly using a tool that&#

The point is not limited to Int though. Say you have this struct: struct MyStruct a::Int64 b::Float64 end Since the size of each field is known (8 bytes), the size of the whole struct, and thus the size of each

I may be missing some context, but what correctness bugs exactly are you referring to that are caused by multiple dispatch?

Took a while, but email is sent - thanks again, and I hope shipping will work itself out!

I'm not as familiar with how C++ does allocations compared to julia, but I'd imagine the limitations would be similar - if `new` can allocate memory on the stack, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work out of the box. C++

That'd be awesome, sure! I'll shoot you an email. PlatformIO is nice, yes - I've already been suggested linking/using that, but I haven't looked into it yet. I also haven't worked with that before, so it'd

I didn't know about FreeRTOS, interesting! I don't think CBinding.jl is an option, since the whole point of the arduino is that the julia runtime can't run there (and doesn't fit in the first place - there's not eno

Haha, thank you! Yeah, this was mostly an experiment to see what kinds of problems I run into - I didn't expect this to actually work out! It's still very finicky, relying on LLVM to remove dead runtime calls and so on, but non-al

To expand on the "interfaces are not enough" part: Defining an interface on an abstract type only gives you that a implementation exists, not that it is correct , i.e. that the specific implementation for a subtype guarantees t

Do you have an example? I'd like to know more about this - it must have been quite egregious if it makes you stop learning a language.

Most of these seem to be about packages in the ecosystem (which, after clicking through all links, actually almost all got fixed in a very timely manner, sometimes already in a newer version of the packages than the author was using), not a

I don't think that matters here - the FFI interface hasn't changed and I wouldn't expect it to differ significantly.

The article addresses that: > This problem is far too small to saturate the GPU, even with such a large batch size. Time is dominated by moving batches from the CPU to the GPU. Unfortunately, as the batch sizes get larger, we need more e

I think this is a great opportunity - actually being able to show real-world (though small) nets in an educational context is great. This means students can try & tweak the net without requiring access to a big cluster or tons of beefy

Not necessarily, no - the "perfectly efficient" algorithms often have prohibitively high constants in front of the theoretically perfect big-O, making them only useful/faster for numbers with so many digits that you can'

I think they're saying the planes in particular are the tangent vector space in 3 dimensions. They're no longer the tangent vector space in 2,4,5.. dimensions, but they're still a thing there as well.

Another alternative is to use the Base.Checked.* family of functions, though they have different names than (+) like checked_add and thus have to be explicitly used.

Ah, that link doeesn't seem to be in the paper (at least my searching for `github` didn't turn up anything), thank you! I did however find the same code as part of the visualization, so I got what I was looking for.

If you're thinking about how in e.g. python, integer addition never overflows and is always a big integer, then yes. If "small"/machine integers and big integers are seperated each have a distinct type, promotion on over

Hi, thank you! The paper mentions that the dynamic analysis code is written in julia and could be used by package developers to study instabilities in their code, but I couldn't find a link to the code in the references. Did I just mis
