So yesterday I was thinking about Julia and how easy people claim package development is…of course…I need to give it a try…
I wanted to start small and simple…so I build something useless mostly for fun and learning…
The LED Package simply writes an LED representation of any given number…
julia> Using LED
julia > ShowLED(12345)
_ _ _
| _| _| |_| |_
| |_ _| | _|
As simple as that…and it took me no more than 5 minutes to get it done…
So, I can confirm now that package development in Julia…is a piece of cake -:)
If everything was done nicely…you should be able to do…
julia > Pkg.add(“LED”)
otherwise…please do…
julia > Pkg.clone(“git@github.com:atejada/LED.jl.git”)
Of course…this was just an experiment…so of course I’m planning to put my mind into the work and come up with some nice and useful packages -;)
Greetings,
