Well, most of the syntax he shows here is just calling functions. A lot of dynamic languages have similar syntax for functions calls. But you're right that Julia's syntax is superficially similar, with function definitions like function foo(bar, baz) end and 1-based indexing of arrays (although Julia's use of that was to be similar to MATLAB).
