A comment on Julia 1.0. Parent comment

I was excited to try using Julia 1.0.0 today after a couple years since my last try and... couldn’t.

None of the packages work with it yet. I guess I could go find an older version, but it seems like a problem that Julia will happily allow you to install a package it isn’t compatible with. What’s the point of the Pkg system then? CRAN’s model makes a lot more sense.

Many packages have declared them selves compatible with any future version of Julia... which is clearly a lie. These need upper bounds on their version compatibility, but that will take some time to propagate through the system.
