Associate .jl files with a file type in the Julia Windows installer
From How do I make Python scripts executable?:
On Windows, the standard Python installer already associates the .py extension with a file type (Python.File) and gives that file type an open command that runs the interpreter (
D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe "%1" %*
). This is enough to make scripts executable from the command prompt as foo.py. If you’d rather be able to execute the script by simple typing foo with no extension you need to add .py to the PATHEXT environment variable.
Is it possible to do the same thing with Julia? It would make it easier to write command line scripts in Julia on Windows.
Is one of the side-effects that when you double click on a Julia file it would actually run in that case? That seems like it wouldn't be ideal, if so?
