> But the REPL lacks the ability to redefine structs on the go (which I can understand as it'd be tough to do, or simply not possible). But that, combined with the slow start up time makes life a bit harder than it should. Fortunately, one doesn't redefine its structs every day.

It is possible to redefine structs in Pluto.jl which is also a productivity booster overall due to its reactivity.

> For example, if you use the plots library, you'll have hard time finding a list of all possible plots (the documentation talks about lots of things, but strangely, not a list of possible charts).

The Makie.jl plotting library has really great docs nowadays: https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/examples/plotting_functi...

Even then it lacks geographical plots, and the GeoMakie.jl (part of the same ecosystem) documentation is limited.

https://juliaplots.org/GeoMakie.jl/stable/

I know, I know, I should contribute documentation.


I really want revise to be able to be able to redefine structs as well. It would make package development a lot easier.


I described what needs to happen in https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/40399, but so far nobody has had the time to implement it.
