But this is really the worst conceivable use case for Julia. Why are you interested in making this change, when Julia offers no advantage in this scenario?

Well I love julia the language. It's the interpreter quirks that I find annoying. If julia had something lean and superfast like luajit it would be incredible!

I'm not the parent, but I faced exactly the same issue when I tried to switch to Julia from scilab. As for why I'd like to switch: Julia is a better language, it is way easy to run your script on a cluster and I've been bitten more than once by the two language problem... So Julia seems better for everything but for one of my most common use cases...

It would be a perfectly fine use-case for Julia if it wasn't so damn slow.
