There's also Julia.
- v9v 3y agoJulia (and MATLAB) have large, heavy runtimes making them non-ideal for applications where size and startup speed matter, eg. libraries, edge computing. Their dynamic nature makes them much better at exploratory programming compared to Fortran though.
- internetter 3y agoBut OP isn't talking about edge computing, they are talking about scientific computing. Use the right tool for the job.
- pjmlp 3y agoJulia might get there in confort, but still a lot of catch up to do with a compiled language designed for scientic computing, which also had to win the hearts of Assembly programmers in speed and code size, as the first high level language with an optimizing compiler (there were some failed attempts before FORTRAN).
