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?
Looking forward. I was about to embark with python on a new long term project, but I might delay that pending the new blog post. If possible do you have a guestimate on what sort of time window we are looking at for this blogpost? Days, weeks, month?
Probably not days. I won't be the one to write it so I can't make any especially reliable predictions here. If enough people ask for this, probably some time in January.
