Julia is regarded as similar in syntax to python, or at least they have similar readability. What I love about it though (fyi not a CS degree person here) is the elegant way it handles types, and generics. User defined types perform just as fast as the built-ins, and I never seem to labor over design choices needed to generate fast computation.

Multiple dispatch is such a great way not to have to write boilerplate code for every method, somehow java seems very awkward in comparison.

Julia feels like a thoughtfully designed and carefully constructed language. I don’t havd the training to understand why exactly.
