How does Julia compare to Python+Numpy+scipy and Octave?
- bee_rider 6y agoI haven't tried it out. It seems really interesting, though. A guy in my group loved it, but he graduated. I haven't yet so I guess we can put at least one point on the board for Julia!
- UncleOxidant 6y agoIt compares quite favorably. The nice thing is that most of Numpy and Octave functionality is already builtin to Julia (multidimensional matrices are first class as they are in Matlab/Octave). Julia performance is quite good and multiple dispatch is great for composing packages (once you get used to it). Check out SciML, Julia's answer to scipy (https://sciml.ai/ https://sciml.ai/) and Flux Julia's answer to PyTorch/Tensorflow (https://fluxml.ai/ https://fluxml.ai/). Are these projects as mature as their Python counterparts? To be honest, no they're not, but they are making pretty rapid progress.
