9 years ago We also could use some in-depth case studies. Some that come to mind are
- Arch Robison's experience with the Delacorte numbers contest, JeffBezanson/phdthesis#12
- Sheehan Olver's ApproxFun.jl package
- JuMP + related packages. The related packages are more interesting because they write more computing code instead of using Julia as a glorified wrapper around external solvers.
- QuantEcon.jl for quantitative economics
I did a search of julia-users threads mentioning porting code from other languages and turned up some interesting cases:
- Peter Krysl's experience with porting finite element code. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/petr$20krysl/julia-users/o14mF0XvHI4/epk0oBzsYZ8J and other threads
- TSne.jl for t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding. This one is a direct port of an existing Python code
- Porting Norvig's Sudoku solver: thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/PORTING/julia-users/bzhhJCGLxCM/MjDhPUeI4ngJ
- DrosoJulia Drosophila segmentation code ported from original Matlab/C implementations.
- Porting the DOP853 integrator https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/PORTING/julia-users/41B3qULjF-0/WqGa-Lc04AkJ
- Solving magic squares https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/PORTING/julia-users/dncIcot_Kaw/ItuKE0d8MjEJ
- Simulating driven quantum systems https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/PORTING/julia-users/Io0JW4dKyYk/zG1aahYx0w0J
User surveys will give us some data on how users user Julia. We should figure out:
