Sukera (Jun 27 2022 at 18:08): Sukera (Jun 27 2022 at 18:08):docs are coming along, but I think there may be some breaking changes sometime.. I'm not quite happy with the experience yet
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:09):With Lisp I feel like I am working backwards, always having to implement my own stuff, because of the above. The plus side is, that the language standard is so well designed that it hasn't ever needed to change. Code from the 60's still runs on modern implementations for example.
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:10):But I had enough of it. I want to feel productive again, even if it means throwing away my life's work.
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:12):Ah well good luck on it. By the way, what else do you work on? I'm curious since you are the only other Julia developer I know that only has a general CS background.
Sukera (Jun 27 2022 at 18:13):I'm trying to finish my bachelor's thesis :joy:
Sukera (Jun 27 2022 at 18:13):but I procrastinate too much with other cool julia stuff
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:13):Aha.
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:15):It looks like I've been dabbling with Julia on and off for 7 years already. I first started playing with it when @Tamas K. Papp moved from CL to Julia, and I wanted to ever since, but I was in the midst of a years-long project until recently.

Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:20):I don't agree with every point he makes, especially 7 years later, but it does bring up a lot of good points. I am no data scientist though.
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:22):The equivalent of reader macros are called non-standard string literals in Julia.
Sadly the link to the Julia docs is dead, and the new Metaprogramming chapter doesn't have a section on them, so I don't know if they are user-extensible or not.
Michael Fiano (Jun 27 2022 at 18:23):Oh it does. I was looking in the wrong place.
