What Hacker News says

There are partial versions in Python and Julia, but porting the whole thing would be an enormous amount of work, at least a year of full time effort by a solid programmer. https://github.com/cswiercz/pychebfun https://github.com/ApproxFun/ApproxFun.jl One thing I would love to see is some kind of “Chebfun viewer” partial implementation ported to several languages and environments, that wouldn’t try to provide everything from the Matlab version, but would at least cover function evaluation, and maybe a few other features, and would support importing chebfuns exported from Matlab. Especially nice environments for such a thing would be C/C++ (ideally with SIMD/GPU implementation) and in-browser JavaScript.
In Mathematical software wish list
