There's an overview here: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.0.0/devdocs/isbitsunionarra... In terms of the Julia changes that were needed to support this, there were two key PRs: https://github

Similar, except for this key difference: > A substring holds a reference to the entire storage of the string it comes from, not just to the portion it presents, even when there is no other reference to the original string. Rust's `&

We had a similar task a year ago in a Python codebase and we ended up building a function in Rust for it. Rust's splitting iterators over `&str` return references to the same data as their own `&str`s, which is a huge performan

I can't imagine a language more suited for implementing this than Julia. Custom N-d array types are easy to create and are composable with the rest of the linear algebra ecosystem. Multiple index and index iteration strategies are supp

I think the downvotes are probably because the article didn't actually talk about Julia that way. And Julia definitely expresses a target audience and target problem domain. As a member of the Julia community, I don't see people j

This is the exact sort of book I've been looking for for a long time. I work with quite a few physicists and engineers who make extensive use of linear algebra I don't fully understand (my university courses only went up to chapte

I wonder whether it would have been more natural if it was written as "quick, brown fox" as would be customary English. Usually when adjectives don't have commas between them it's because the last adjective is coupled to

We use ML to model complex interactions in electrical grids in order to make decisions that improve grid efficiency, which has been (at least in the short term) more effective than using an optimizer and trying to iterate on problem specifi

I think people compare them because they were both designed as alternatives to C++ (or at least with that in mind). What people might miss is that they were solving two very different problems: Rust aims to be as fast (or faster) while guar

I think this may fill a void in the "teaching language" space. It doesn't require lots of boilerplate but retains some key teachable moments (type system, pointers, stack vs heap, interfaces, etc.). I think a language with th
