Or, Julia can be for both.
Julia lets you start from scientific calculations scripts and grow your code to a larger software package. Same as Python grew popular 20 years ago because it let you grow your small sysadmin scripts to larger software.
Matlab and R are too limited in their "real programming language" constructs, and it gets painful when your codebase grows larger. Julia has all "real programming language" constructs a software engineer would need.
