There have been some major developments in Julia package manager in the past year. A system has been added in 1.3 for content-addressed binary artifacts, including data and platform-dependent binaries. In conjunction, the BinaryBuilder system has been updated to produce these artifacts, allowing package to depend on non-Julia libraries without any client-side build step. Pkg 1.4 introduced a new protocol for clients to get packages and artifacts from "Pkg servers" without needing git or GitHub.
The Julia package ecosystem provides a rich trove of useful functionality across a wide range of platforms. By standing on the shoulders of giants and combining packages such as ZMQ.jl, Opus.jl, PortAudio.jl, DSP.jl and more, we are able to build a multichannel, low-latency, intelligent wireless speaker system that runs on cheap single-board linux computers.
