Dan Luu 写系统问题时,习惯先测量、再对照、最后才下结论。把「A review of the Julia language」放到智能体、评测和线上系统里,真正要问的是:默认做法会不会系统性失败。下面用中文整理成可执行的工程笔记,去掉原站导航和无关链接。

2022 Update

Here's a language that gives near-C performance that feels like Python or Ruby with optional type annotations (that you can feed to one of two static analysis tools ) that has good support for macros plus decent-ish support for FP, plus a lot more. What's not to like? I'm mostly not going to talk about how great Julia is, though, because you can find plenty of blog posts that do that all over the internet.

The last time I used Julia (around Oct. 2014), I ran into two new (to me) bugs involving bogus exceptions when processing Unicode strings. To work around those, I used a try/catch, but of course that runs into a non-deterministic bug I've found with try/catch. I also hit a bug where a function returned a completely wrong result if you passed it an argument of the wrong type instead of throwing a "no method" error. I spent half an hour writing a throwaway s

Appendix: blog posts on Julia

The second to last time I used Julia, I ran into too many bugs to list; the worst of them caused generating plots to take 30 seconds per plot, which caused me to switch to R/ggplot2 for plotting. First there was this bug with plotting dates didn't work . When I worked around that I ran into a regression that caused plotting to break large parts of the core language , so that data manipulation had to be done before plotting. That would have been fine if I k

It's not unusual to run into bugs when using a young language, but Julia has more than its share of bugs for something at its level of maturity. If you look at the test process, that's basically inevitable.

值得单独记下的观察

  • Package issues. Julia now has package precompilation so package loading is pretty fast. The package manager itself was rewritten to use libgit2, which has made it much faster, especially on Windows where shelling out is
  • Travis uptime. This is much better. There was a specific mystery issue going on when Dan wrote that post. That issue has been fixed. We also do Windows CI on AppVeyor these days.
  • Documentation of Julia internals. Given the quite comprehensive developer docs that now exist, it's hard to consider this unaddressed: http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/devdocs/julia/
  • 2016: Victor Zverovich Julia brags about high performance in unrepresentative microbenchmarks but often has poor performance in practice
  • Complex codebase leading to many bugs
  • 2022: Volker Weissman Poor documentation
  • Unclear / confusing error messages
  • Benchmarks claim good performance but benchmarks are of unrealistic workloads and performance is often poor in practice

落地时建议先做的 5 件事

  1. 用自己的真实负载测,而不是只用公开榜或厂商数字。
  2. 把评测设计成能抓到失败模式:平均分好看但尾部崩溃,仍然算失败。
  3. 智能体默认不会好好用测试;要写进流程,而不是写在口头规范里。
  4. 性能和正确性都要有基线,改模型或改语言前后必须能对比。
  5. 结论写成可回滚的决策:哪一版配置、哪一版评测集、谁签字。

和智能体产品怎么接

龙虾PRO做 OpenClaw 落地时,同样吃「先测量再扩面」这条纪律:技能、数字员工和网关都要有可复现评测,而不是只看一次演示通过。
