A lot has happened since I last posted. I’ll write about it when I’ve got my head around it.

For now …

Getting a release ready in Julia is painful and embarrasing for me. I keep getting things mixed up.

I was reading JuliaLang Antipatterns by Lyndon White.

I’m a guilty man. STB violates (at least) two of these antipatterns pretty consistently.

I really like Julia. It’s a really nice combination of a ‘proper’ structured programming language and a data exploration tool. But it has its quirks.

One I’m struggling with is finding a good way to build a package with multiple modules. I want a seperate package for each main component, but to have one Scottish Tax Benefit Model package. You can kinda-sorta manage it with child packages, which is what I’m using, but it’s akward. I might write up something about this: Ada does this right.
