I've been looking for a Matlab alternative and been disappointed with either the performance or the syntax of Octave, Python, and Julia. I'd known Fortran had modern features and updates every few years, but never tried to pick it up since the excitement seems to be elsewhere. This article is convincing that Fortran is worth trying out.
- bmh100 10y agoIf you want to get down into the nuts and bolts of numerical computation, with convenient concurrency, you should definitely look into Fortran + OpenMP.
- Xcelerate 10y agoWhat don't you like about Julia's syntax? Is it more than the 1-based indexing and "end" statements?
- goatlover 10y agoAgreed, Julia syntax is very clean. Also, you can make it look more math-like with it's support for unicode variable and function names.
