I'm working on a scientific simulation that is going to require a distributed environment. There has been some discussion about whether to use Julia or Clojure for this project. A few micro benchmarks seem to have different results for each language. I'm not yet sold as to which language may be more expressive in this situation, but Lisp might be a preferred option mathematically for modeling purposes.
Does anyone have any practical experience in dealing with both of these languages and what your experiences were? Are there any meaningful benchmarks that compare the two, especially in a distributed environment? Thanks! -George
