  • Manifest.toml vs Project.toml in Julia
    4 projects | /r/Julia | 13 Apr 2023
    Each package in the Julia package ecosystem has its own UUID which will appear in the Project.toml next to the package name. These values are assigned to the package when it is regestered in the Julia General registry and they never change, even if the version of the package does.
  • Ask HN: Why does every package+module system become a Rube Goldberg machine?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Jan 2023
    Julia and Rust all work with using versions tied to git tags. Package management isn't tied to Github but git: packages can live on Gitlab or BitBucket, though they generally don't and that's the choice of package developers. Because of that there are tie-ins to make Github really nice to use, but for example with Julia the only piece that is truly Github based is the fact that the General registry lives in a Github repo (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General), but could easily migrate to another git platform if it needed to.
  • Show HN: Investorsexchange.jl – parse trade-level stock market data in Julia
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Aug 2022
    HN is special, and you all here in this comment tree are the best of the best -- love the fact that everyone is having fun with this in such a civil way and historically knowledgeable way.

    For anyone who wants the naming backstory, InvestorsExchange.jl was originally IEXTools.jl, but Julia's package registration automatic name checks didn't like it ("Name does not meet all of the following: starts with an uppercase letter, ASCII alphanumerics only, not all letters are uppercase.Name is not at least five characters long") [1]. So to Wikipedia I went to find the non-acronym name of the IEX exchange, which is "Investors Exchange" [2]. Thank you all for helping me understand why IEX goes by IEX in all of their branding.
