+1 to what Steve says. We do a bunch of stuff with grants at Julia Computing, which fund new capabilities, or building domain specific packages. If you look at our blog posts, you can see the kind of work funded through such grants. In the simplest case, it will greatly help both parties, if

I've run into a similar problem in the past, but this was before Julia Computing. If `Julia Professional Edition` or `Deployment Edition` comes with some reasonable features are not included in the free version, then maybe it could be justified? Christoph

maybe academic partners is not the correct term. But if you for instance need HPC but writing HPC infrastructure is not your expertise (hence you won't get funding for that) there might be other universities that do research on HPC and might be quite interesting getting in touch with a new

Yes software development “because it is needed” for research works well, and indeed there are many cases where people have built academic successful careers while developing software. The catch is that there’s always a lot of time consuming maintenance tasks involved in

Well you mentioned "Thread support for Julia" and I could imagine that there are academic partners that could work on this if they could get funding. The problem with finding a postdoc that does software development is indeed tricky. Usually this will not be full time but people will work on a

Maybe I don’t understand what you mean by “academic partner”, but I can’t imagine academics jumping at the chance of working on someone else’s code… There is also a problem with including a postdoc with the expectation of her/him carrying out basic software tasks: time spent on software
