67 The <a href="http://julialang.org/">Julia</a> programming language has |
|
|
|
68 seen a major increase in its use and popularity over the last few years. |
|
|
|
69 We last <a |
|
|
|
70 href="https://lwn.net/Articles/763626/">looked at it</a> two years ago, around the time of the <a |
|
|
|
71 href="https://julialang.org/blog/2018/08/one-point-zero/">Julia&nbsp;1.0 |
|
|
|
72 release</a>. Here, we will look at some of the changes since that release, |
|
|
|
73 none of which are major, as well as some newer resources for learning the |
|
|
|
74 language, but the main focus of this article is a case study that is meant |
|
|
|
75 to help show why the language has been taking off. A follow-up article |
|
|
|
76 will introduce a new computational notebook for Julia, called <a |
|
|
|
77 href="https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl">Pluto</a>, that is akin to <a |
|
|
|
78 href="https://lwn.net/Articles/746386/">Jupyter notebooks</a>. |

123 release includes a long list of smallish improvements; click below for the |

124 details. Also present is the code enabling Git to <a |

235 One of the first features merged for the 5.10 kernel development cycle was |
|
|
|
236 support for <a |

237 href="https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Arm%20Developer%20Community/PDF/Arm_Memory_Tagging_Extension_Whitepaper.pdf">the |
|
|
|
238 Arm v8.5 memory tagging extension [PDF]</a>. By adding a "key" value to |
|
|
|
239 pointers, this mechanism enables the automated detection of a wide range of |
|
|
|
240 memory-safety issues. The result should be safer and more secure code — |

241 once support for the feature shows up in actual hardware. |

274 We have <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/694830/">looked</a> at the problem of |
|
|
|
275 confusingly named packages in repositories such as the <a |
|
|
|
276 href="https://pypi.org/">Python Package Index</a> (PyPI) before. In general, |
|
|
|

|

|
|
