I would say go through this book and see what you think. Don't get too hung up on specific parts but try to move through it quickly so you get a "feel" for Haskell. Then I'd look for a similar book/tutorial with Julia and do the same. If you can't find a similar resource for Julia, you could probably make due with replicating the Haskell examples with the manual[0] and "learn X in Y minutes"[1] for Julia. After compare your experiences. If you still aren't sure, try implementing something a little more difficult or involved in both. They are both very capable tools as far as I know, so how much you enjoy each language might be the most important factor in lieu of limits each language may have for your intended uses. 0: http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.2/manual/ http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.2/manual/ 1: http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/julia/ http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/julia/
