Julia?

[Dellaert, Frank]

I have not worked in Julia but I’m intrigued. If there is anybody here that is particularly passionate about Julia, it would be cool to consider a Julia wrapper for GTSAM. It seems that the boost-python style wrapper package here:

https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl

should be easy to support as we already use boost-python for the python wrapper.

Send me email if you’re passionate *and* can make the time commitment:-)

I've worked with Julia a bit due to my frustrations with Matlab. It's a phenomenal language but the one disappointment was that it is 1-indexed (and unlike cpp and python) so I wasn't ready to make those mental gymnastics.

I'm curious as to why we're not pushing for Swift support in the wrapper first.

Also this can be a GSoC project.

Tangentially related: if, for whatever reasons, you want to try
another more automated Python wrapper, pybind11 [1] is great.

Oh, yes, sorry, we are​ using pybind11

See https://github.com/borglab/wrap, big kudos to Duy Nguyen Ta, Varun Agrawal and Fan Jiang

Julio would become a different target language alongside python and MATLAB there.
