So in any case I agree that the world needs to get its shit together and thinking about it: I have never really considered to give it a serious try to make/contribute to make that happen.

Ohm, a lot of thought has gone into indexing in Julia. Julia allows indexing by position `A[1,1]`, slicing `A[1:5, :]`, linear indexing `A[1]`, and logical indexing `A[a.==1]`, relative indexing `A[end-1]` and cartesian indexing `A[Cartesia

Julia's design is like Haskell's monads. It requires a bit of effort to sort out exactly what Julia's value proposition is. That's perhaps why people have the urge to write a Blog post to explain what a monad is, ahem, I

The crux is that which are "the methods that you'll actually use" is very difficult to answer. A lot of effort is put into this on the Julia "Package compiler" and "Compiler" projects.

Honestly, if you want to discuss the progress made on the expression problem by a dynamical language whose power and extensibility partly comes from a collection of informal, consensus based interfaces you have to start from a different the

People using Julia are quite happy how it alleviates the expression problem compared to languages they used before. Your argument, if I get it right, that Julia can't solve the expression problem because "the expression problem re

Hehe, perhaps no and this is the moment when you figure out that you have mild aphantasia. When people say they "count sheep jumping over a fence" it's not a metaphor.

It is almost not a study about filters, but a study about an ad hoc vaccine by partially inactivating the virus by drying it on a surface with salt and surfactant.

We rather do not call Julia a Lisp lest people notice.

If the “natural lifespan” of humans ends to be 38 you are using a flawed definition of natural. This also connects to people believe that humans in the past died with 30 latest because the life expectancy was 26 years, ignoring that this is

You can make sense of the differences abstractly considering the band, the state register and the instruction table of a Turing machine.

I'd like to add that it took the Julia community itself quite a bit to understand what this "value proposition" actually is, especially that it is not just a very nice high level language language geared towards linear algebr

Remind me when you "see a sun rising in the morning" next time. Using an indefinite article here is noticed by the reader and will pose the question "Oh, is there one more?". In language rules are sometimes not as absolu

Great, the answer is then: You should give it a try, to a certain extend "Why Julia is nice" is easier experienced than explained.

On the other hand, Julia can do the right thing dynamically . Your matrix happens to be symmetric? Julia will chose an appropriate factorisation and will propagate that knowledge through dynamic dispatch.

In Julia editors these are written by e.g. typing `\sigma` with a backslash and using tab completion.

Counting is slightly easier: if you have one object, it has slot number 1, and if you have one more object (meaning you have two objects) that second object has slot number 2. PS: I am joking here of course, but seriously, try counting thin
