To which version of Julia are you referring? All of those things are much improved now.

Even in swift it isn't "turtles all the way down". The AD stuff is hardcored into the C++ guts of the compiler, whereas Julia's source to source autodiff accesses a compiler pass from a fully Julia user package. Aside fr

Would you be open to doing a Fast.ai initiative in Julia? If so, what would that take?

Better static compilation and compile times which will reduce the time to first plot.

Specifically what?
38.
by byt143 7y ago
This sounds amazing and exactly what people have been clamoring for. Extremely excited. I think it will also rocket up Julia's popularity and usage not just for ML but as a general purpose language

Julia,'s source to source autodiff is implemented as a custom compiler pass in a third party package. Similar approached are bring taken by prob programming packages.

by byt143 7y ago
Yes it does. See genie.jl for a full mvc framework. Also there's mux.jl and http.jl.

It's already bring done in Julia. See zygote.jl. Works with typed IR equivalent to a core compiler pass but from a third party package with regular Julia staged programming.

This really showcases Julia's power. This is a DSL built on top of Julia, written in pure Julia. So, a Julia package ;) https://github.com/probcomp/Gen

What do you see as Julia's most egregious problems, internal or otherwise? and internal in particular?

This goes way way beyond graphical models.

I had the same thoughts upon seeing the list. Luckily package compilation seems is on the compiler dev roadmap. Traits are more of a 2.0 thing I think.

So many patently false claims here. First, julia has it's own IR (comparable to swift IR as mentioned by Chris), which is used to great effect in the autodiff packages to allow for compile time zero overhead gradients. The flexibility

Yes. see this as an example: http://genieframework.com/

Both cassette based performance linting and static type checking will solve this problem. There are already the beginnings of the tooling being formed.

It's possible to have both the dynamism and static type checking in Julia. Check out this issue: https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl/issues/614

Why is it a silly insistence? What about it is not fit for general programming? Please be specific.

Re: Debugger, fair enough but it's in the works Re: Scoping rules, these are being evaled. Re; startup time, already better in 1.1, and will soon be marginalized from two ends: Better static compilation and better tiered compilation.
