  • I can never debug codes in Julia without issues. Help?
    3 projects | /r/Julia | 25 Jun 2022
    Also Infiltrator is very fast and useful but don't try to use it from the Vscode integrated terminal.
  • Just downloaded Julia, what packages/other things do I need to download to have it all work properly?

    The package Infiltrator.jl might be what you seek. It's not as good as inserting breakpoints like in Matlab but it's still better than printing everywhere haha
  • Julia 1.7 has been released

    Yes, it uses Debugger.jl, which relies on JuliaInterpreter.jl under the hood, so while you can tell the debugger to compile functions in certain modules, it will mostly interpret your code.

    You might be interested in https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Infiltrator.jl, which uses an approach more similar to what you describe.

  • Error handling and unwinding stacks in Julia
    2 projects | /r/Julia | 28 Jun 2021
    Another small thing is in the REPL when you trigger an error in Common lisp it drops you into the debugger where you can redefine code and retry directly from the stack without unwinding the entire stack. Does Julia have functionality similar to this? Currently when I trigger an error Julia just throw the error and goes right back to the top level prompt. To resolve this issue I've tried sprinkling my code with a combination of GitHub - JuliaDebug/Infiltrator.jl + Stack Traces · The Julia Language wrapped in try catch blocks so that if an error is singled it drops into a debugger of sorts. This is ok and it works but it isn't really as good. Is there a current package that can emulate what I am trying to do? I think that the REPL workflow is good in julia but the workflow stalls out when you run into errors that don't drop into debuggers and such.

    Have you ever tried Infiltrator.jl and Chain.jl?

    This lists some of its unique abilities:

    https://docs.sciml.ai/DiffEqDocs/stable/

    The routines are sufficiently generic, with regard to Julia’s type system, to allow the solvers to automatically compose with other packages and to seamlessly use types other than Numbers. For example, instead of handling just functions Number→Number, you can define your ODE in terms of quantities with physical dimensions, uncertainties, quaternions, etc., and it will just work (for example, propagating uncertainties correctly to the solution¹). Recent developments involve research into the automated selection of solution routines based on the properties of the ODE, something that seems really next-level to me.

    https://github.com/SciML/DifferentialEquations.jl/issues/786. As you could see from the tweet, it's now at 0.1 seconds. That has been within one year.

  • When is julia getting proper precompilation?
    3 projects | /r/Julia | 10 Dec 2021
    It's not faith, and it's not all from Julia itself. https://github.com/SciML/DifferentialEquations.jl/issues/785 should reduce compile times of what OP mentioned for example.
  • Julia 1.7 has been released

    Let's even put raw numbers to it. DifferentialEquations.jl usage has seen compile times drop from 22 seconds to 3 seconds over the last few months.
