That is true. As an aside, apparently Julia scientific
ibraries are mostly written in Julia, which makes me wonder.

I probably haven't chosen the right words for it. I referred
maleficency to the breaking of language-conventions, because you handle
those special types. Quite similar to what you can see w

I have no experience with python, but I use golang a lot.
Lua is also quite fun to code in.
I use python. But only less often. The last time I use it is when I tried
processing txt files contents which includes string manipulations, regex

I used Python for all my scripting needs before Golang hit version 1.0
(around two years ago). After giving it another look then, I have come
to prefer it over Python. Th

False. I can't write such code in MATLAB, for example.

Personally, I mostly really like Go. But I would say one of my biggest
problems with Go is (as far as I know) forced Garbage Collection.
Depending on your point of view, that's either a strength or weakness
of the language. From what
