== Vim and Emacs and other cruft ==
I think it's pretty silly that the article notes that one can use "Vim and Emacs" to work with Julia :-) In case it isn't clear, one could say the same thing about any textual programming language, and (for that matter) all written languages!
I think this is emblematic of the cruft in the article. [[Special:Contributions/73.252.146.143|73.252.146.143]] ([[User talk:73.252.146.143|talk]]) 21:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
:Agreed, we could remove it. You can write Julia on paper as well, paper just lack the interpreters :). So in my opinion it makes sense to keep dedicated tools and extensions such as the one in VSCode, Jupyter and Juno.

== Usage section ==
I tentatively added a [[Julia (programming language)#Usage]] section, mimicking the one in [[Python (programming language)]]. The idea is that we can refer to notable libraries and other usages of Julia here. There are a few red links already, but it's missing crucial stuff such as DifferentialEquations.jl et cetera [[User:Bruno H Vieira|Bruno H Vieira]] ([[User talk:Bruno H Vieira|talk]]) 14:58, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
: I undid your revision {{Ping|MrOllie}}. Would you care to explain the rationale behind the removal of the [[Julia (programming language)#Usage]] section? [[User:Bruno H Vieira|Bruno H Vieira]] ([[User talk:Bruno H Vieira|talk]]) 14:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::It's a list of apparently randomly selected libraries. Wikipedia isn't a [[WP:NOTHOWTO|howto]] or [[WP:NOT|link directory]] so such lists are off-mission for us. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 15:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::{{reply_to|MrOllie}} It's not a list of randomly selected libraries, but it's under construction. I'm adding the most prominent ones first. I added that section directly inspired by the [[Python (programming language)#Uses|Python#Uses]] section, so the precedent is out there. [[User:Bruno H Vieira|Bruno H Vieira]] ([[User talk:Bruno H Vieira|talk]]) 15:06, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::The Python section is based on independent reliable sources and mentions libraries that are called out as significant by such sources. Your section was a list of libraries with no apparent selection criteria. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 15:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::Several entries in the Python section are not referenced, that's where I got the precedent to add the section to this article. If the entries over there were removed as well then I would understand it, but it's quite an established part of the article. [[User:Bruno H Vieira|Bruno H Vieira]] ([[User talk:Bruno H Vieira|talk]]) 15:49, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::: I'm really trying to understand how to make this section right, don't get me wrong. [[User:Bruno H Vieira|Bruno H Vieira]] ([[User talk:Bruno H Vieira|talk]]) 15:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::: {{U|Bruno H Vieira}}, I share your passion for for Julia and its libraries (at least DifferentialEquations.jl is state-of-the-art, and good sources should be possible to find). I was maybe to enthusiastic adding libraries at the time, and gave up on editing the article in 2015 and ended up [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Julia_(programming_language)&diff=684246408&oldid=684237341&diffmode=source deleting about half of it then].
