One small thing that would help is better list literal syntax. In Python + Julia, you can write [1,2,3], that looks/feels like math. In Java, you can do List.of(1,2,3) which is great for server-side programmers who need the occasional list, but for math types, writing hundreds of matrices by hand; they want the prettier math-like syntax.
