Multiple dispatch solved the two-language problem — MATLAB's ease with Fortran's speed in one MIT-designed package.

Bezanson, Karpinski, Shah, and Edelman's Julia (2012) — designed to end the 'two-language problem' — is Python's ease with C's speed: multiple dispatch, LLVM JIT, and numerical computing without the glue.\n\nIt is the most serious MATLAB/Python challenger in science: differential equations, climate models, and ML all run on it.
