I love #rstats 
, and believe that vectorised operations simplify code by making x + y do what it looks like it should.
#julialang
has a more explicit approach; a 'broadcasting' operator `.` to distinguish scalar and vector operations, so x .* y (+ is a special case and seems to just work). Beautiful in its own way.
The Linear module in #haskell
defines a vector addition operator and I will now forget everything I said above because just *LOOK AT IT* 🐱
