There should be a very simple way to translate Matlab to Julia that anyone can use easily. Yeah, GPT-4 "could* do that - but I don't think very many people would ever do that. Why? Because often Matlab code is private and the owners can't give their code over to some other person.

So some other method e.g. Galpaca distilled or Llama-based distil by step for Matlab->Julia translation model should be popularized.

Especially with the distill step by step you could get something that runs quite efficiently on a laptop.
