not loading ~/.juliarc.jl in script mode is really annoying

[StefanKarpinski]

I get why we don't do this in principle, but I now really think it's a mistake.

[staticfloat]

I think I agree with you; ~/.juliarc.jl is getting to be pretty important, and since we support julia -f to ignore it, perhaps we should move to always loading it. Unless someone has a compelling reason not to.

[JeffBezanson]

Yeah, I agree. Switching loading of juliarc on and off in various cases seems random.

[JasonPries]

This causes issues using JuliaStudio as well (forio/julia-studio#165).

[JeffBezanson]

Shall we go ahead and change this?

[StefanKarpinski]

Yes, let's just change it at put a note in NEWS.

There is still a usecase for having somewhere to put REPL specific utilities, but I guess we have so much code to load at startup that it is unlikely to make any difference.

[StefanKarpinski]

You can always have some of it inside of if isinteractive() ... end.

[johnmyleswhite]

Nice to have this changed.

[vtjnash]

./julia script.jl still doesn't load the .juliarc.jl file before running the script

[ivarne]

And now the isinteractive thing works also: dc5350b
