Re: [julia-users] I feel that on the syntax level, Julia sacrificed too much elegancy trying to be compatible with textbook math notations

I don't think those discussion points will make Siyi happy ;) We are getting even more required use of dotted "broadcasting" instead of less like he wants. I much much prefer being explicit with the dots, but like all syntax discussion it seems to get heated :) On Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 2:31:

This has been a point of (extremely) lengthy discussion. See the following issues for recent improvements and plans, some of which will be in the next release: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/15032 https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/16285 On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 5:23 PM, Siyi Deng

numpy arrays operate element-wise by default, and have broadcasting (binary singleton expansion) behaviors by default. in julia you have to do (.> , .<, .==) all the time.
