It's like Matlab or SciPy in terms of how easy it is to set up a quick script, but far more performant. The syntax is fairly similar to Matlab, which makes it familiar for engineers like me. And then there's the speedup. For one benchmark I wrote when evaluating the language, it had a 60x speedup over Octave, but I'll have to see what happens when I finish porting over all of my code.
