					Some of the fields that could most benefit from parallelization primarily
					use programming languages that were not designed with parallel computing
					in mind. This MATLAB-to-Julia translator begins to approach the problem
					starting with MATLAB, which is syntactically close to Julia. The translator
					aims to do much of the tedious work of converting source code from MATLAB
					to Julia, in hopes that a MATLAB user who is curious about Julia could
					then spend most of their first moments with the language exploring its
					capacity to improve their existing programs rather than wrangling with
					bugs or a new syntax.
				</p>
				<p>
					This translator is not comprehensive, but it should accurately translate
					enough of the most common statements that most of the tedious work of
					translating the code by hand is eliminated. The hope is that you can
					then review the translated Julia code and perhaps make minor corrections
					(<a href="https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/noteworthy-differences/#Noteworthy-differences-from-MATLAB-1" class="link" onclick="trackOutboundLink('https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/noteworthy-differences/#Noteworthy-differences-from-MATLAB-1'); return false;">list of differences between MATLAB and Julia</a>,
