[julia-users] Re: Conditional loading of modules (for speed)

[Michael Hatherly]

I’ve used the following *hack* to do a similar thing:

function plotfunc(args...)
    isdefined(:Gadfly) || eval(Expr(:using, :Gadfly))
    println("do things...")
end

Hope that helps. Perhaps there’s a more elegant way to do this though?
