I worked through the Julia user manual last year and my impression is that their macro system is probably less powerful than Racket's, but that their types are more powerful than Racket's. When reading the chapter on types [0], I felt like I was doing Haskell. Disclaimer, though: I never really developed anything in Julia, and my Racket development experience is still quite limited. - Sergiu [0] https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/types/ On Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 11:19:19 AM UTC+2, Marc Kaufmann wrote: > > 1.
