Session
Julia's potential is held back by significant usability problems in error messages, debugger operation and performance, and the need for a package, Revise, for live code updates. These diverse issues can be resolved by improving Julia's ability to relate source code written by the programmer to the various internal representations in Julia's compiler. In this talk we will explain this common thread and discuss ongoing work to improve compiler "provenance."
