Sounds reasonable, but am I missing something deeply important, like say lisp or haskell, if I don't learn Julia. What I've seen it's a nicer fortrant.

- dagw 8y agoJulia is actually a pretty interesting language under the hood that is doing a lot of powerful things with metaprogramming and lisp-style macros. It also has a solid (optional) type system and method dispatching making a lot of things very clean. That being said Julia has also done very good job of making it easy to use as just matlab 'clone' if that is what you want. edit: I should add that as much as I admire Julia and enjoy playing around with it. 99% of my numeric work is still done with numpy and a smattering of C due to libraries/existing code/inertia
