Then I attempted building something medium sized and it all fell apart. I feel like it needs some serious work on tooling, the module system, packages, etc. Has anyone built something medium-large sized in Julia? Maybe I'm missing something. When I was trying to use modules to organize my code the response I got was that modules…

Hey, I guess OP here. These are part of the workshop notes from 2017 (with a few updates, but mostly left intact) on "A Deep Introduction to Julia for Data Science and Scientific Computing". It's a full day 8am-3pm workshop (with extended problem exercises to take home!) that can be found here: http://ucidatascienceinitiative.github.io/IntroToJulia/ The section that was pulled out to be the heading link here was the portion that comes after first explaining the semantics of the language. The "Why…

This is a good summary of the power of Julia's type system in performance. The `2^-5` seems like a bad example, tho, because it renders as a float. Every version of Julia I can run also allows it to work. I assume this used to error?
