I have a question similar to this one:
I've been hanging around here for a while, but still just getting my feet wet building things in Julia. One thing I needed was to be able to parse some matrices in JSON. The result I get from JSON.parse is naturally a Vector{Any}, where each element is another Vector{Any}, but I want Matrix{Float64}, so I hesitantly did this:
function convert(::Type{Matrix{Float64}},a::Array{Any,1})
mat[i,:] = convert(Vector{Float64},a[i])
Is there a better way?
Row major vs column major
issues aside :)
