I'm on the same page as you, though. I've never written R or any Matlab, but when Julia was still new, I remember seeing an example that it was a language that didn't use S-expressions, yet had as potent of macro and meta-programming abilities as if it did. Seemed like it'd be wonderful to work in.
- socialdemocrat 5y agoYeah it was stuff like that which attracted me to Julia I just did some meta programming to allow calling Objective-C from Julia using ObjC like syntax thanks to macros. Most of the time multiple dispatch and a what really help abstracting your code and reuse.
