Latex

• Printing variable subscripts in Julia

ltx = Base.REPLCompletions.latex_symbols

for i in 1:3 
    println("a$(ltx["\\_$i"])") 
end

World Age

• Invokelatest() makes code run slower
• “running in world age X, while current world is Y” errors

Documentation

• Allow function to ignore unsupported keyword arguments

Building

Windows

MSYS2 & MinGW

• The MSYS2 build is not tested, likely broken, and should probably be removed from that document unless someone wants to submit a pull request to fix it. Cross-compilation from Cygwin is the supported method for building Julia from source on Windows right now.
• WIP: CMake #11754

MacOS

• failed to build julia against mkl on osx #15133
• Julia with MKL on OSX
• Building Julia 0.6.0 with MKL on OSX 10.12.5

Jupyter

• Command line options for Julia kernels in Jupyter
• What’s your strategy to version-control your IJulia notebook?

Error-handling

• Is it possible to get an exception message as a string?

GC

• Does calling gc() manually, result in all finalizers being executed immediately?
• Are finalisers called when the last reference is garbage collected, or when Any reference is garbage collected?

Sibi

• How do you use debuggers?
• Julia vs Fortran complaint
• About a year ago, an article titled "giving up on Julia" was published. Have some of those weaknesses been addressed yet
• Doubts about language
