Julia seems like it&#x27;s meant to be friendly to people who know MATLAB, Python, and R (even Fortran). R and Python are really comfortable with working with data science and that&#x27;s what Julia is geared toward. I have no experience with MATLAB, though. Julia&#x27;s programming &quot;world&quot; may indeed be a different programming world than C programmers.<p>I&#x27;m not defending Julia per se. I&#x27;ve been patiently observing from the sidelines to see how the language shapes up.
