Julia syntax is pretty nice! No multiplication by juxtaposition, element access uses [], and then your code is specific to Julia rather than convertible to lots of environments. I would love to see a Julia backend for I Heart LA.

>No multiplication by juxtaposition

That's possible albeit limited.

  julia> x=[1,2]
  2-element Array{Int64,1}:
   1
   2

  julia> 2x
  2-element Array{Int64,1}:
   2
   4

  julia> 2(x+x)
  2-element Array{Int64,1}:
   4
   8

  julia> x=2
  2

  julia> [1,2]x
  2-element Array{Int64,1}:
   2
   4

but, as mentioned, due to element access the inverse (x[1,2]) cannot work. Neither can multiply variables that way.

I forgot that Julia can do juxtaposition multiplication with literal prefixes. (My guess is symbols that can't begin an identifier.) Otherwise, the types of the terms must be known at parse-time to correctly interpret, for example, f(x)².

What do you think of Desmos?

I've only used Desmos occasionally, but I like typing math in it. Desmos also supports juxtaposition multiplication.
