- The names of these packages typically end in
.jl. In particular, the suffix is included to distinguish packages from similarly-named non-Julia packages. - The date of the most recent development activity appears just after the name of the package.
- Blurbs taken from the sites should be in italics (asterisks in markdown)
- Packages that support quantum information packages (e.g. tensor packages) are included here. Exactly where to cut this off is not clear.
- TODO: How to organize ? By organization for some software seems useful. Within orgs: alphabetically?, popularity? ...
