Between Julia and MATLAB, which would be the most efficient for a discontinuous Galerkin FEM code?

I need to simulate a 2-D problem with DGFEM. I have been advised to use C/C++ for a code that delivers quick and efficient results, however, I am not very comfortable with them, and my base code...

Why are dilatant (shear thickening) fluids so uncommon?

Dilatant fluids seem very useful, but relatively uncommon, when compared with shear-thinning fluids. Why is this so?

Do superfluids really have zero viscosity, do they just behave like a zero-viscosity fluid?

Was the viscosity of a superfluid obtained as zero after a measurement? If so, how was that measurement made?

Why is the transonic region so unpredictable?

I was reading up on wave drag, and I can't understand why it is not possible to predict where shockwaves are formed, when the aircraft is travelling at say, Mach 0.9.

Can the same media that can absorb sound wave energy absorb the energy of shock waves? Like those in supersonic flight?

If so, we can design a mechanism to reduce drag in supersonic flight!
