I'm taking linear algebra with the professor being one of the designers and he's making us use it and it's b a d.

Can you elaborate?

Finally someone who has used the language to some degree - please tell more

I do machine learning for my job and everyone uses Python. Facebook originally launched Torch based on Lua but then release PyTorch later based on Python.
I know a lot of Holla Forums hate Python but one thing people need to understand is that at a purely technical level, Python and C work very well together. This is because Python is implemented directly in C, so there is no overhead when talking between Python and C. For example a numpy array is literally an extension of the C struct that implement a Python object (PyObject), see docs.scipy.org
Now Julia takes a different approach, which is to use the same language for high and low level (numeric) code. While generally it's good to use the same language for everything, for the reasons I outlined above, mixing Python and C is very computationally efficient and so the advantage of Julia isn't as great as you might think. On the other hand, Julia will never have the maturity of Python or C so it will lose out as both a high level and low level language.
tl;dr Julia will never compete with Python ad a high level language or C as a low level language. While using a single language for everything is itself an advantage, Python and C work so well together that this advantage is small.

Yes. And?

im not an academic or scientist, i just want to screw around, calculate really simple correlations between stuff (data from google or oecd etc)
where to start? really 101 stuff, im only familiar with programming at a basic level (unity stuff)

The whole point of giving something, be it a car, gun, guitar, ship or whatever the fuck, a female name is because you care for the object, if you don't want that don't fucking give it a human name and absolutely not a female name. People don't sexualize C, nor do they sexualize Pascal (although he may have been sexy, can't recall his face). These kind of faggots want people to "sexualize" it just so they can be "nice guys" and call other people "bad". I had no opinion on Julia before, but they can fuck right off. Bunch of fucktards, doubt they could even overflow Julia's buffers.

Honestly, Python. No shit.

If most of what you want is related to statistics learn R. It's a weird programming language since it's made by statisticians, but any statistical method you can think of is there.

Just skipped through it now.

Language is trash made for women and pajeets. LuaJIT is better in EVERY WAY. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
