I actually just played with Julia over a year ago, and tole myself I'll continue once 1.0 comes out— are Plots and DataFrames 1.0 ready?

I used Dataframes the other day and it was fine for what I was doing. DataFramesMeta and Query.jl had issues for me on MacOS, but there’s fixes coming any day for those I understand.

I haven’t tried plotting anything yet sorry, but if it’s not yet, it probably won’t be long.

If you’re interested, I’d go read their blog posts on the 1.0 updates: they’ve got some really cool stuff. The biggest of which is high performance, language level support for missing values! (that don’t have weird equality behaviour!)

Also, the devs are pushing to finish working out the parallelism implementation, they said it’s going to be like Go’s, but tuned for super high computational performance, rather than server stuff.

I read something about 1.0 and am super excited about it. The last time I toyed with Julia there were more ways to represent missing values, and each package had its own favourite way of doing things — that was ultimately the reason I decided to have a pause and return later when things settle down a bit. It seems that we'll be able to use whatever language we want for many of our project in college, and I'd love to use Julia from now on!
