A. First a specific matter:
http://julialang.org/downloads/ I see PyPlot. I'm not asking for recommendations, just discussiong what should be officially pointed to [in general]. I can understand that you would not want to take side (or maybe you do, PyCall.jl is awesome and I guess PyPlot/matplotlib, I just haven't used any plots..). Maybe the plan is or should be to recommend (only?) Plots.jl (and not Gadfly since): https://juliaplots.github.io/backends/ "Deprecated backends Gadfly" See also: https://juliaplots.github.io/supported/ It's clearly not a simple choice.. and since Plot.jl is just an abstract wrapper (that seems awesome!) it's not taking sides pointing to it. I also really like UnicodePlots :) that may be the only pure-Julia only solution..? Maybe leave that implicit in the Plots.jl recommendation? [Maybe the homepage just hasn't been changes yet, as Julia 0.5 isn't out and Plots.jl turned 0.5 only.] B. Juno is also recommended. I expect there is no change, expect the newer Atom-version is now ok and recommended? I've also not tried (seriously) in a while.. Any other notable [to add to homepage]? I understand if you do not want to confuse people with choices, why A. seems safe.. C. There's another thread on "metapackages" (proposal), should there be more [abstract wrapper/meta] package recommendations? -- Palli.
