R replaced SPSS.
Octave replaced Mathlab.
Python based libraries are somewhere in between.
Julia with Jupyter will probably replace Mathematica, LabVIEW and Mathcad (and unify all of the above) with a powerful native language and environment.
- mintplant 11y agoI don't really see how Julia replaces LabVIEW - and I say this as someone who greatly dilikes LabVIEW after having done a lot of work in it. But then I'm only passingly familiar with Julia. What does it offer in terms of controls systems/realtime, GUI building, and data flow?
- grayclhn 11y agoI have high hopes for Julia, but it's not really competing with Mathematica AFAIK, so I'm not really sure what's behind these claims.
- frik 11y agoNot Julia alone, but Julia in combination with Jupyter notebook technology - at least for common usage. (Mathematica has of courses a lot of features)
- KingMob 11y ago??? R replaced S and S-PLUS, not SPSS. SPSS is still around as a light, user-friendly stats tool. And Octave is nowhere near replacing Matlab, not by a long shot. It's the complete opposite story as R/S-PLUS. Source: was in grad school for cognitive neuroscience. Saw Matlab everywhere. Saw SPSS here and there. Saw Octave nowhere. Briefly looked at Octave and stopped as soon as I realized all of the packages everyone used required Mathworks toolboxes.
- shele 11y agoMathematica is quite a different beast. It will be a while until julia has a native CAS and even then it will likely not be a CAS (Computer algebra system).
