PSA: The goal of the Julia 1.0 release was to stabilize language constructs for library authors to build upon. It will take time for them to update their libraries to be compatible with v1.0 -- so if you want to get a feel for the language, and things are breaking, stick to v0.7 for the near future.

Sadly not even 0.7 is usable right now, see https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.0.0/ * The only difference between 0.7 and 1.0 is the removal of deprecation warnings. * I am currently using version 0.6.4. I feel it is still a great piece of software, even if is a few years old.

A good review of the changes between 0.6 and 0.7/1.0 is here: https://white.ucc.asn.au/2018/06/01/Julia-Favourite-New-Thin...

You probably meant to say "stick with v0.6.4".
