jill.py VS juliaup

Don't know if it helps you, but I'm keeping Julia up to date with https://github.com/johnnychen94/jill.py, works well on my laptop and my workstation in the office, no compilation required. It also lets you install and manage older versions if you have legacy code that may need them.

I had a lot of issues with JuliaPro, I found just installing directly or via jill.py to be easier (https://github.com/johnnychen94/jill.py)

There is juliaup, available in the Microsoft store, for managing julia versions: https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup

Better use the official binaries from https://julialang.org/downloads/. For Windows, best use the Julia app in the MS Store (https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup ).

Thanks - fwiw, I currently use juliaup, which basically does the same thing. Unfortunately, the problem isn't that Julia isn't on the path (it is), it's that Neovim's exepath can't find it, for some reason. :)

But it’s considered prerelease for Mac and Linux according to its git repository. So presumably it won’t become the default until it’s not experimental any more.

Use the right tool for the job! I would never write a system utility or OS or user application or compiler in Julia, for example. juliaup is a Julia utility being written in Rust for this exact reason!

And yes, I know about jill.py and have considered using it as well. It seems fairly straightforwad to use. A similar project that I found interesting is juliaup. Still, I would definitely prefer just using zypper instead of relying on third party tools. That's why I figured I might as well ask on here.
