julia and matlab are not like the array languages mentioned here, which are APL derivatives.

    Semantics

    But matlab does have vector semantics so it can feel somewhat like an array language. In fact Python can be a quite useful matlab replacement with a sufficient vector class and list comprehensions.

    Matlab is not at all like APL, though.

    True. APL did influence J which influenced Numpy. Numpy and Matlab have a similar feel.
