Re: [julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

The string unification is already in julia-0.5. There are functions called String(), Int(), and Float64(). In some cases there are lowercase variants, and these often "do more" (e.g., `float` will parse a string and return an AbstractFloat). The uppercase versions are the minimalist

Re: [julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

It used to be that [[1,2],[3,4]] would try to concatenate the two vectors into [1,2,3,4], which was inconsistent with Vector{Int}[[1,2],[3,4]] (which returns a vector of vectors). That syntax was deprecated in v0.4.x, and in v0.5 now means the same thing (and the same as in any other language

Re: [julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

This is just me, but I prefer to wait a bit longer than to get mistakes frozen into the language. One bit that I care about is the names of some types and functions. For example, right now we have - Base.String - Base.ASCIIString - Base.UTF8String - Base.AbstractString So, I want to use

Actually, the blog post from StaffJoy ( https://blog.staffjoy.com/retro-on-the-julia-programming-language-7655121ea341#.35atllel3) never said that it turned out to be a mistake, in the conclusion they said: > The Julia language helped to create Staffjoy and turn it into a business, > and for

Re: [julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

This information is hugely beneficial in science/mathematics, especially for a PhD. It means that if you start a project in Julia now, although there will be some bumps for when versions change, the project will likely end after v1.0 is released (say 2 years?) and so your code should be stable

Re: [julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

OTOH many other people would prefer to wait a bit until certain design decisions are hammered out in a satisfactory way. Stable & mature software usually happens after spending a lot of time using and developing unstable & immature software. Incompatibilities are a pain, of course, but most

[julia-users] When Julia v1.0 will be released?

I really like Julia (I am using it for my publications & thesis), but I noticed that the versions are not really backward compatible. I am still ok with that, but many other people are waiting for the mature, stable version (1.0) to start using Julia. So, when Julia v1.0 will be released?
