Juno 1.0
2020-07-29 , Red Track

In this talk we will introduce Juno 1.0 and give an overview of new features and workflows as well as key development choices we made during the last months. This new version of Juno is more robust and easy to install than ever before and combines powerful static analysis features with the dynamic approach that's been at Juno's core for so long.


Juno is an IDE for Julia which enables an unique, powerful and very interactive development style. It is also the oldest still maintained IDE for Julia and, as such, has undergone drastic changes during the last few years.

Due to limitations around the current package infrastructure, there also have been some longstanding and fundamental problems, mostly around installation, updating, activation time, and interference with user's own package environment.

In this presentation we are going to present Juno 1.0. We will give examples of both basic workflows and more arcane features as well as explain how we tackled the problems outlined above; as such, the talk will be split in two parts: A showcase of Juno's current state, and a discussion of internals and planned improvements.
