It's also pretty incorrect, because Julia is much more appropriate as a Matlab replacement than an R replacement. Matlab and R aren't even close to the same thing, so not sure where these statements are coming from. Julia does seem great, and I hope it replaces Matlab, if only because it's open source. A faster and more consistent R would be nice, but there are other people working on that too.
