[julia-users] Performance of release 0.5.0 v 0.4.6.0

2016-10-13 Thread Jeremy Cavanagh
Hi All, Congratulations are due to all those who prepared the 0.5.0 release. However, I am somewhat confused by the new release's performance. Out of interest I did a single run of Base.runtests() using both release 0.5.0 and release 0.4.6 with some rather surprising and disappointing results.

Hi Everyone, There are many comments with which I agree. Chris has put forward many good ideas, I also use Java and find the install/upgrade system excellent. There is no problem with having lots of APIs in the distribution since they are not loaded into you code unless specifically required.

Hi Joseph, I'm no expert, but, I managed to install Juno on Mac OS X 10.9 with no problem. Have you tried installing Julia first then Juno. If you and your students are working on Apple Macs I would recommend installing Julia via Homebrew because it then becomes easier to maintain any availabl

Hi Kevin, I am not a great authority on this but I have been through similar problems using OS X 10.9.5, and believe me things can get messy and you never really get things stable and easily upgradeable by creating lots of links. If you are really keen on doing lots of programming and related t

2016-02-19 Thread Jeremy Cavanagh
Hi Oliver, This is probably not what you are looking for, but, if you are using atom as an editor then you will recompile stale caches simply by 'Start Julia'. However, I suspect you are wanting to run some simple code in the REPL (I can't help you there). I hope this may be of some assistanc
