AreWeRustYet VS DaemonMode.jl

This is fascinating to me. It's my understanding that Rust is generally a system programming language, whereas Go is general-purpose... and what's more, it's up against the likes of C. But in spite of this, Rust is very clearly establishing a presence in most mainstream domains.

Btw i use any of many areweyet projects to figure out the most popular crate by github repo stars.

There are compilations of these websites like https://github.com/UgurcanAkkok/AreWeRustYet And I'm sure there are others.

Depending on your favorite area (gaming, web, ML/AI, backend, etc) perhaps take a look at this list of sites https://github.com/UgurcanAkkok/AreWeRustYet and pick some. Get familiar with your favorite projects, contribute, and build a code portfolio.

Thats for an entry point, you can search `Base.@main` to see a little summary of it. Later it will be able to be callable with `juliax` and `juliac` i.e. `~juliax test.jl` in shell.

DynamicalSystems looks like a heavy project. I don't think you can do much more on your own. There have been recent features in 1.10 that lets you just use the portion you need (just a weak dependency), and there is precompiletools.jl but these are on your side.

You can also look into https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl for running a Julia process in the background and do your stuff in the shell without startup time until the standalone binaries are there.

Because you're compiling...

And if you need to do the same in Julia, you should also pre-compile or some other method like https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl (their demo shows loading a database, with subsequent loads after the first one taking roughly ~0.2% of the first)

Well, not nicely certainly, but:

> portable

Neither is python - it just relies on universal availability. Over time…

You can get around a lot of these problems with DaemonMode.jl though.

You might want DaemonMode.jl

https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl can possibly help in the future. Leaving it here so that people know this is planned.

If you strongly prefer to run scripts though, then you can use the package https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl in order to re-use a Julia session between multiple scripts, saving you recompilation time.
