62. "I'll second the Julia recommendation." In response to In response to 46
One of the students in my computational physics class used Julia last year (instead of Python, the standard language for the class). I have no more experience with it than I got from grading his homeworks, but it looked as elegant to work with as python is, and they say it's almost as efficient (in terms of cycles) as C. I've been meaning to acquaint myself with it more.
Still seems kinda new and rough around the edges, but I assume it'll be adopted widely pretty quickly.
