xgdgsc··on PersistentWindows – persists window positions on some events for Windows
This project addresses a long-standing issue in Windows 7, 10, and 11, where windows get repositioned after events such as the system waking up, external monitor connections or disconnections, changes in monitor resolution (e.g., exiting full-screen gaming), or during RDP reconnections.

xgdgsc··on My Ideal Array Language
The tradeoff between compilation time and programmer productivity and running speed is worth it compared with using any other language. You should consider most users don' t need to build an image . They just do things in the REPL with Revise.jl (which is fast). Or use a bit of PrecompileTools.jl to get good enough startup time (which isn' t complicated if you are the code writer). Package compiling works even large and slow is a bonus. https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html Julia still grows despite all those controversial articles for a reason.
xgdgsc··on My Ideal Array Language
Yes. I don' t know why you' d rather trust an article from 10 years ago to understand current status.
xgdgsc··on My Ideal Array Language
That' s solved more than 1 year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38783886 https://modernjuliaworkflows.org/optimizing/#compilation .
xgdgsc··on Ask HN: Is there a language that is simple and empowers developer productivity?
Julia is really simple if you do math related stuff (sounds like from mention of operator overloading ): https://github.com/mossr/BeautifulAlgorithms.jl .
xgdgsc··on Migrating away from Rust
Yes. https://github.com/heyx3/Bplus.jl/blob/master/docs/!why.md This is good writing on this topic.
xgdgsc··on Ask HN: What less-popular systems programming language are you using?
That' s already possible for julia witha proproetary solution: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/syslabcc-suzhou-tongyuans-.... https://github.com/Suzhou-Tongyuan/syslab-deploy

xgdgsc··on Julia and JuliaHub: Advancing Innovation and Growth
Using https://julialang.github.io/PrecompileTools.jl/stable/ to avoid recompiling everytime is pretty convenient now. And there will be https://jbytecode.github.io/juliac/ to build small binaries. I had some good experiences with https://github.com/sl-solution/InMemoryDatasets.jl and DuckDB.jl when DF.jl wasn' t performing well.
xgdgsc··on Modelica
There' s a Chinese company also using Julia and Modelica https://www.tongyuan.cc/product/MWorks . They have projects like https://github.com/Suzhou-Tongyuan/syslab-deploy using https://discourse.julialang.org/t/syslabcc-suzhou-tongyuans-... .

xgdgsc··on Non-elementary group-by aggregations in Polars vs pandas
Nope they are still libraries with their own feature set that need remembering.
xgdgsc··on Non-elementary group-by aggregations in Polars vs pandas
I' m tired of remembering of all these library invented concepts and prefer doing brainless for loops to process data in Julia.

It' s quite acceptable with 1.10.
xgdgsc··on Ruby: A great language for shell scripts

xgdgsc··on Rust Is for the Engine, Not the Game
Yes. I tend to trust their team considering previous libraries they wrote. And if people in the game industry are interested, it might fully happen faster because the added incentive.
xgdgsc··on Rust Is for the Engine, Not the Game
Or consider julia for the game as you can start with dynamic types and JIT to get quick results and go static (even compile to cpp in the future) with https://discourse.julialang.org/t/syslabcc-suzhou-tongyuans-... later.
