Implementing cat function in Julia
I think this is a good approach.

Stylistically I think you've done a good job as well; you've use a descriptive variable name (line), good indentation (4 spaces is standard for Julia), and have made use of a function that returns an iterator, which will be more efficient for this purpose than, say, one that returns an array.

The only thing I would do differently is to replace write with print. I tend to reserve the former for writing to a file and use the latter for writing to STDOUT.

There are two alternative ways to do this that I can think of. I'll provide them for completeness.


Read the entire input stream as a single string and print it to STDOUT. Note that this is quite impractical for large input streams.

print(readall(STDIN))

Read and print each character from the stream one at a time.

while !eof(STDIN)
    print(read(STDIN, Char))
end


This may provide some benefit in efficiency over your approach if the input is very large and contains few to no newlines, since eachline returns an iterator over the lines of the input, where lines are delimited by newlines. If I'm not mistaken, all lines are read before the loop body executes.


Overall though, for practical purposes I think this is a fine approach. Nice job.
