While it annoys me how things have gone downhill, I think you missing one key detail with regards to competition. It's only "very easy" if you feel like throwing enough money at CI compute to power the majority of the open so

When doing big long running workflows especially with plan Mode 4.7 was a clear improvement. It’s considerably worse for under specified tasks and responds to a couple sentences with 10+ paragraphs for explanatory type discussions.

Just reverse the axis on one side, typically the Julia side. This is the convention used in Lux.jl/Flux.jl. I share memory between the two with zero additional copying for my workflows on a daily basis. If you are really allergic to do

Your baseline for comparison is a company that doesn't give anything away for free? Also, contributing in open source is a choice, not a mandate. I greatly benefit from Julia and its ecosystem so I chose to contribute back some of my w

From the sound of your post I'm guessing you view Julia as a general purpose language. I'd consider it general purpose insofar as the application leans into fast numerical computing, everyone else secondary. It can do most of the

Mojo looks neat but I'm pretty satisfied with Julia at this point for high performance numerical computing across CPU, GPU, etc. I can't help but feel this niche is already mostly solved beyond having Python like syntax. Even Pyth

The decision to run all of my experiments in a monorepo with a single uv.lock continues to be validated. I usually only update it a few times a year. It was pinned at 2.6.1 for lightning \o/

The PerlMonks page was in death as it was in life: completely unreadable.

Beta is inappropriate as an exclusive channel to continue receiving security updates. If I hadn’t read HN today I wouldn’t have known.

A more generous interpretation of your grandiose vision would obviously include some way to make the water not into a breeding ground, like what you mentioned here. But seeing as this is hacker news, I felt like playing into the respective

I live in Houston and would rather it be 10 degrees warmer than have to deal with 32258 additional mosquito spawning pools. The heat isn’t the worst part of Houston, most long term Houstonians are used to it. You never get used to mosquitos

Everything I just read makes me thankful that I never had to touch one of these apps before I got married. Out of all social media, dating apps have to be the most dystopian. Technology can be a force for creating deeper human connections,

I work in the medical device industry and most people on my team have engineering degrees and extensive experience with Matlab. Pretty much all of them would flip their table if they had to write numerical/scientific code in Rust, even

In my experience starting with Julia in 2025, the main thing missing from the ecosystem tends to be boring glue type packages, like a production grade gRPC client/server. I heard HTTP.jl is also slow, but I havn't sufficiently dug

Waiting 15+ seconds to test small changes to my PyTorch training code on NFS is rather annoying. I know there are ways to work around it, but sometimes I wish we could have a training workflow similar to how Revise works. Make changes to th

Mine did the same for image processing but coming from python/numpy/numba. We initially looked at using Rust or C++ but I'm glad we chose to stick it out with Julia despite some initial setbacks. Numerical code flows and read

I've found that I'm most productive in Julia when minimizing the number of third party dependencies for this reason, even more so than other languages. That's not to say there are not many high quality packages available but

Technically you don't need to know what array indexing is being used if you iterate using firstindex(arr):lastindex(arr). AFAIK the issue was that this wasn't consistently done across the Julia ecosystem including parts of the sta
