Yes! Julia is quite elegant in AoC. I had a blast doing it in Pluto last year: https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl

I'm really excited about Julia 1.8 and diffractor: https://github.com/JuliaDiff/Diffractor.jl Keno Fisher did a presentation in a discussion moderated by Simon Peyton Jones here: https://www.youtube.com

Yeah, but Google does nearly the same thing with search personalization and context sensitive ranking. Almost all personalized information retrieval systems are some variant of this type of recipe since the late 90s no matter what mathemati

it's sort of like asking whether for self driving cars whether it is prudent to have cars that strictly know to act based on what they sense (in a reactive way), or if it is better to collect maps of sensed environments and figure out

Exactly, it's more of a b2c thing. Actually in one of my previous gigs (at a energy company that had oil rigs in very remote areas), they wanted to quicken the provisioning of 5g to some of the places they operate in. AWS was one of th

there are also other companies working on webkit, e.g, sony. Apple's investment in safari/webkit goes up and down. They've actually made a lot of investments since 2019 or so. Probably less so for the previous 6 years before

The problem is that XUL just didn't work very well. It was one of the reasons Apple decided to go with forking KHTML for the basis of webkit, and Google decided to with forking webkit for the basis of Chromium.

The problem is that Servo required a lot of things, including Rust, to be mature. That being said, Servo resulted in the creation of all sorts of technologies.

Almost all of Blink has been rewritten from the time of the fork from webkit. and almost all of Webkit has been rewritten from the time of the fork from khtml.

It's hard to believe Mozilla will do much considering 90% of their revenue comes from Google. for better or worse, Apple has been the single biggest driver towards privacy enhancement.

julia's package manager is quite modern (and very well designed relative to the mess that is either C++ or python, no experience in modern fortran for me), so something being external or in the core language is not as important as it i

Julia (and Fortran) have a concept called offset arrays where you can basically start on any sort of index: https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl IMHO, one of the biggest advantages of Julia _is_ arrays.

I agree, personally I think it's a problem with Julia's initial "product" placement, which was probably a overfocus on the "technical computing" aspect. Personally, the first version of python I used was 1.5.2

Completely disagreed. I was skeptical originally, because I wasn't used to seeing unicode symbols in code, but in certain types of mathematical code, it makes it /far/ clearer because your brain can link to the appropriate sy

I've been using C++ and Python since the early 2000s. Julia these days is my go to free time language to hack together stuff in, partially because I've been impressed with what comes out of that ecosystem despite the smaller commu

i agree, this is without a doubt the number one thing that julia needs. nearly every dynamic language has trended towards this in the last 7-8 years. it's probably had the most profound effect in modern Javascript (typescript) and pyth

Personally, I think when you write Julia in shorthand form, it looks nothing like ruby or basic. for example, check out parts of the stdlib: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/operat

I would say the almost every version of Julia 1.x has better in terms of code startup. as in 1.7 > 1.6 > 1.5 > 1.4 > 1.3 > etc... it's especially goten way better since julia 1.5, so really mostly in the last few years.
