It seems like programming has moved further away from mathematical to something... else. It seems like very few programmers actually know basic math (I mean basic from a mathematicians point of view, not that they can't add and subtract). What are your thoughts on this, and what are your thoughts on the effect this has had on the industry? Do you think Julia's popularity is a sign of this changing, that people want modern languages that allow them to bridge the gap between software and mathematics more easily?
