I would say "Why Octave not Julia?" since Julia is specifically designed for the scientific notations and speed, unlike Python.

Good point, Julia is the Matlab of 21st century. Pythonista here, so Julia didn’t come to mind first.

I have my own answer at the end of the article. It is: use Julia if you’re serious; but Octave will serve you well if you’re already used to MATLAB or have MATLAB scripts and just want to do some numerical work.
