Re: Speed Mathematica is undergoing a compiler re-vamp, which may change that.

  one pretty clearly inspired by Julia's approach, from what I can understand.

    Well I think Mathematica has an interesting spot here. If you consider their symbolic language as instead an AST for mathematical functions with tons of available transformations to perform simplifications, then that can allow for a very nice compiled output. Julia, Modelica, TensorFlow, Mathematica, etc. all seem to be heading in this same direction of codifying and then simplifying mathematical structures to receive better runtime code. There's a lot of convergent development going on here.
