Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:11): Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:11):What is your opinion regarding unitful parameters in distributions?
https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distributions.jl/issues/1940
Daniel VandenHeuvel (Jan 21 2025 at 13:20):I feel like the "strong reason" for many issues is that no one's had a need for it / felt compelled to implement it.
Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:21):I feel the same. Just want to double check it before spending time working on a PR.
Daniel VandenHeuvel (Jan 21 2025 at 13:23):Searching for past unitful issues shows the same question you asked in back in 2022 - I imagine the response would be the same
Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:36):Apparently this has been discussed by multiple people in the past, without much progress on the Distributions.jl package itself.
Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:37):(matching past experience)
Notification Bot (Jan 21 2025 at 13:37):Júlio Hoffimann has marked this topic as resolved.
Daniel VandenHeuvel (Jan 21 2025 at 13:44):I mean, it does seem like they would review a PR judging from those past issues
Daniel VandenHeuvel (Jan 21 2025 at 13:44):Just happens to be a lot of work
Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 13:45):There is an open PR for Exponential, but no progress. I am afraid of working on it and wasting my time without a prior agreement on what is the minimum amount of work needed to get the changes merged.
John Lapeyre (Jan 21 2025 at 15:59):Tell me about it. This is often a bar to me making a PR.
Júlio Hoffimann (Jan 21 2025 at 16:08):Yes. The current maintainer is very reluctant to change. I will start looking into MeasureTheory.jl because Distributions.jl is frozen in time.

To be clear, I was not talking about Distributions.jl in particular.
