Hi Julia users,
Maybe you want to support me with my wish list.
Here it is:
- end statement: remove it (ala python) and use indentation, the code will
be shorter and cleaner
- case/switch: include it (missing in python)
- array indexing: introduce with negative number -1,-2,... (instead of or
additionally to end, end-1)
e.g.: a[-3:-1] vs a[end-2:end]
(again shorter and cleaner). Note -1 could index the last element (not
previous last element as in python)
This would be inline with the Julia one-based indexing. (Maybe an idea is
to use braces for zero based indexing, e.g. a{0}=3.14)
- dictionary: mydict = ["one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3]
(i.e. colons ala pythons instead of ["one"=> 1, "two"=> 2, "three"=> 3],
shorter and cleaner)
well, it is ambiguous: [1:3]
- provide a divmod function ala python
- if 5: should work (ala python and c, and not the redundant "if 5>0")
- provide an enum function (enumerate ala python)
- [1 2 3] .< 2 remove the dot in those scalar operations
- elseif => elif
- length => len
Ok. That's it for now.
Julia devs, you did a great job! There are many things that I like more than in
python.
Cheers
Friedrich
