Matlab's strength does not only lie in the simplicity of it's code or in not having to load libraries explicitly. It also lies in the fairly good IDE. Built for scientists who want to prototype code quickly, there is an interpreter and an editor right there for you. Not to mention that you never have to configure anything, it just works.
I love Julia, but for wider adoption, it will definitely need integration with a good IDE that "hides complexity from it's users".
- bjz_ 13y agoThere is Julia Studio[0], but I'm not sure it is competitive as of yet. [0]: http://forio.com/products/julia-studio/ http://forio.com/products/julia-studio/
- dankoss 13y agoI've been looking at this, but it doesn't yet have watch windows and package import is somewhat broken. That said I do like the interface.

- pseut 13y agoYou can use Julia in IPython, but I'm not sure if that gets you everything you'd want. It definitely doesn't meet the "no configuration" criterion.
- idunning 13y agoThis is a big issue for some people in my lab too. There are interesting efforts towards this, check out Julietta: https://github.com/tknopp/Julietta.jl https://github.com/tknopp/Julietta.jl
- thearn4 13y agoThough not really an IDE, IJulia is kind of neat, reminds me of mathematica in some ways (like IPython).
