Two things:
- This change won’t happen, even if it was a good idea, PSA: Julia is not at that stage of development anymore
- Writing unvectorized code is orthogonal to automatic broadcasting. What Julia and the unvectorized paradigm says is “don’t treat vectors special”, which is a much more tenable and extensible way to program. Want to take the length of each vector in a vector of vectors? Just broadcast it. I would recommend trying this out for a while and then trying to go back to matlab, you’ll notice and be annoyed by how arbitrary their broadcasting rules are.
What about print and println is confusing?
