Hello I have played with Julia as a language it's a good compromise between Common Lisp with Python syntax and C performance
but build an autonomous prog. come with a lot of pain Racket come with an excellent battery include Julia is based on LLVM witch is very very big Julia provide a real 'live coding' that's not the case for Racket Julia libraries space is much more oriented for heavy scientific calculation but there not good general programing tools, their Gtk is far to be well finished and polished as many other libraries but this is a matter of time so I continue to love Racket even if will remain for long time a little bit less performant but that depend on your needs only my feeling and sorry for my low skilled English ;-) Le samedi 2 février 2019 10:04:22 UTC+1, Gour a écrit : > > Hello, > > I've to decide between Racket and Julia as language of choice for writing > desktop app. Racket's advantage is that its GUI support is provided out of > the > box, while in Julia I'd probably have to use Gtk.jl as the best supported > package since I do not want to use Electron or some other > JS/browser-based > things. > > Leaving aside other language features' pros/cons, I was a bit surprised > when someone in Julia's channel responded to me with: "Racket is pretty > amazing, but I stopped looking into it after I figured, that it can't > really be made fast language...I just talked at some point with some of > the core devs, and they told me that racket may never be julia fast > (some of them actually know julia quite well)".
