Any thoughts on this for scientific computing / number crunching? Is it better than Matlab?
>>16260986Very comfy language. Certainly superior to matlab. More beautiful tjan Python too.
>>16260986very fast, very comfy, can even be GPU accelerated
>>16260986It's just Python wannabe inferior cousin due to limited software packages and stupid lack of features in the language itself. just use python, or c++ if you want performance.
>>16260986Some guy implemented a simple model for synchronized oscillators in Python, which I used quite a lot for my thesis. Unfortunately I had to wait quite a while for each run, but it didn't matter too much.After my thesis I decided to have a crack at improving it, but using Julia as my peers were jerking it off.Made something that produces the same results, but was 2 orders of magnitude faster, dropping the processing time from about 2 hours to a little over a minute.
>>16261243you can achieve the same result in python. by default there is no optimization but you can use libraries for such purposes. there's no need to use a limited language like Julia just for the acceleration. sounds like skill issues my guy.
>>16261233>>16261248What is missing from Julia?
>>16261295Nothing really, maybe some niche libraries because it's a relatively new language. I'm too much of a retard to learn a new syntax so I cannot ever switch to any other lang other than python. even then I'm finding it hard to start using the retarded type hinting shit they introduced in python.
>>16261618btw I've tested Julia with kernel on jupyter a while ago. I got back to python because of my long habit with python.
>>16260986Everything is better than Matlab. Octave is better than Matlab. Matlab needs to be voided.
>>16261641this, papers should be voided if they publish their code in matlab.
>>16261295A compiler.You need to install a JRE (Julia Runtime Env) to run Julia. No compiled programs. The programs dont exit the academic space.....It's good for write onceCompile oncerun once If you need to run multiple times, it is suboptimal.Still better than python
>>16260986I haven't personally used it myself, but it does suffer from it just being a young language from what I've heard.Depending on exactly what you need for number crunching, Julia does provide nice functionality in the standard library. I recommend looking at the documentation for what sort of things you might need: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/Furthermore, Julia also supports calling code from C: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/calling-c-and-fortran-code/If you're already acquainted with Python though, I'd rather stick to an LLVM like numba for the convenience of familiarity and better support
>>16260986I've mostly been avoiding it because there are a ton of subtle bugs in the core language and major packages that make it hard to trust any nontrivial program written in ithttps://yuri.is/not-julia/
>>16261712>open source project has bugsMany such cases
which framework produces the nicest drawings/animations?
>>16261248The original implementation used a bunch of differential equation libraries. The saving grace for a speedup in Julia was due to static allocation.Could that be done in Python? Genuinely curious, I'm no Python wiz.
