[julia-users] [ANN] SparseVectors

[Dahua Lin]

I searched over the forum and it seems that I did not announce this package
when it is initially created.

So here it is:

https://github.com/JuliaSparse/SparseVectors.jl

Simply put, it provides sparse vectors (not sparse matrices with
one-column) and a series of methods operating thereon. Recently, I did a
major upgrade of the package and many more functions are added. The package
has been systematically tested and it is ready for general use.

A majority of the functionalities will be migrated to Julia base, after
Julia v0.4 is released. If your applications involve processing sparse
vectors (e.g. text analysis), you may check it out and play with it.

Cheers,
Dahua

Nice!

I saw somewhere recently that the plan was to move more out of base and
into packages. I'm curious as to why this needs to go into Julia base.

cheers

This was discussed pretty extensively in the github
issue: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/11324
