Are there analogs to Simulink or some of MATLAB's toolboxes in Julia? I know of a few shops that use Octave because developer pricing for MATLAB isn't enough when we have an alternative, but there's still a need for a roving license or two because there are a few things lacking in the ecosystem.
TBH, Simulink is the golden standard, i don´t know any other alternative. with that in mind, the other toolboxes are easily replaceable with some julia packages, for example in the optimization Toolbox there are various options, like NLSolve(solving no-linear systems),JuMP,Optim,NLOpt (general Optimization).
I know that the DifferencialEquations.jl package is the state of the art in ODE solvers.
Images.jl provides a good alternative to the Image Toolbox.
for what i understand, in the most simple way to put it, simulink is a giant differential equation solver, so you can implement the logic with julia, but the UX of simulink is the best right now
