similar background (started my career in APL, only language i've ever used that had its own keyboard)

also NumPy, and Nd4j via scala bindings

of course NumPy and Nd4j are libaries

i strongly recommend Julia as an array-oriented programming language

particularly because it has quite a few other features to recommend it

Julia follows the Matlab syntax conventions more closely than NumPy (or R) which i think was a good design choice
