Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks （读书笔记）：Julia

Julia

1. Day 1
   1. julia> typeof(5)
   2. ~0 位取反
   3. 5 $ 6 //=> 3
   4. implicit = {:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3}
   5. explicit = [:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3] //静态类型限定？
   6. Float64[1, 2, 3] //有点Go语言语法的味道？
   7. 切片：animals[2:end]
   8. 多维数组：A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] //Matlab？
   9. v .* [0.5; 1.2; 0.1] //点乘
   10. v' * v //内积
2. Day 2
   1. for a = [1, 2, 3] println("$a") end //这个字符串求值借用的Perl语法？
   2. abstract Story
   3. type Book <: Story ... end //没有指定成员的类型？
   4. super(Book)
   5. subtypes(Story)
   6. numbers = 1:10
   7. +(numbers...)
   8. In Julia, each version of a function is called a method, 但‘不属于特定的类型’？==> Multiple dispatch
   9. 并发：
      1. addprocs(2)
      2. r1 = remotecall(2, rand, 10000000) //嗯？可以直接发起远程调用？
      3. rand_list = fetch(r1) //阻塞等待结果返回（感觉这里的语法有点太原始的，不过适合于数值计算的使用场景）
   10. @parallel (+) for i = 1:times ... end //循环并行化？
   11. Interview with Julia’s Founders: Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral Shah, Alan Edelman
       1. Julia注重性能（CPU计算速度、内存布局）？
3. Day 3
   1. e = :(println("Hello!"))
   2. typeof(e) //=> Expr
   3. (e.head, e.args) //=> (:call,{:println,"Hello!"}) 又是Lisp风格的代码结构表示？
   4. macro unless(t, b) quote ... end end //注意，Julia代码不需要写‘return’
   5. julia> Pkg.add("Images") //靠，在线的包管理，这个牛
      1. 感觉Julia可以直接当作命令行的Matlab来用了？正如R语言对于S
   6. http://media.pragprog.com/titles/7lang/code/julia/Codec.jl （代码略）
      1. julia> using Codec
      2. julia> freqs = Codec.blockdct6(img)
      3. img2 = Codec.blockidct(freqs)
4. Weaknesses
   1. The first is its youth, and the second is the lack of available packages（这个，-_-）
5. As Graydon Hoare, creator of the Rust language, puts it, Julia is a “Goldilocks language.” It’s just right.
