My field is control systems. Every academic I know, and every paper I’ve read which mentions a software stack, uses matlab/simulink.
Simulink appears to me to have no good alternative (maybe jmodelica or something?) There are some python/Julia alternatives to matlab, but the existing control libraries are really pretty limited in comparison.
I’m not sure exactly how dependent particle physics is on ROOT, so direct comparison is difficult.
- ChrisRackauckas 7y agoThe Modelica systems are a good alternative, but don't really exist in high level languages yet, other than some transpilers which are a little iffy. We are planning to change that with Julia though which has enough of an ecosystem to easily build such an open source tool unlike Python or R.
- locoman88 7y agoI don't know why the Julia people need to bash Python/R whenever they can.
