Ask HN: What is the best programming language for Monte Carlo simulations?

Julia seems to be a good fit. It’s python like, but a lot faster and cleaner.

First-class support for parallelism as a prerequisite for performance. Seems to exclude python, but pymc is great.

You can run multiple Python processes with a MC simulation and combine the results in the end.

You could do many things, but if you are focused on performance you shouldn’t do that

Slightly off-topic but ProbLog[0] might interest you.

You mentioned Octave. Modern Fortran can be considered the compiled version of it, and many Monte Carlo calculations have been done in Fortran.
