User defined types/classes are currently being worked on in an open PR. Excellent counterpoint for the time being, though.
Aside- Do you know if multiple inheritance/traits will happen at some point? I need this for modeling, even though it can be worked around for general software architecture.
Likely. There's some recent discussion at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/6975#issuecomment-... regarding taking inspiration from Clojure's protocols. There are a few different Traits and Interfaces packages floating around showing proof-of-concept implementations. Couldn't give you a timeline on when it'll make it into master, but it should happen.
Thanks. The link seemed still to be single inheritance focus (sorry, I don't know the right terminology I come from a OO background.) but I could be wrong. Though I did get the sense that its just a interim step towards multi inheritance.
What about the dataframe and stats infrastructure? its currently in shambles. Any Idea when this can be expected to be fixed?
