Wake up early on a holiday, excited to add some new features to historical options backtester. 3 hours later: zero features added BUT I can tell you how many business seconds until any option expires ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My first take is that Python and Julia are obviously better languages (no experience with Mathematica. I really dislike R but that could just be cultural).
My second, spicier take is that your choice of language is much, *much* less important than your research process, tooling, creativity of your researchers, skill of your developers etc.

Obv you can add value in any language. Just from what little Matlab I’ve done it feels like the entire language was built to multiply matrices and everything else is garbage

That was true in ~2014 - it’s better now with tables, proper string and datetime support, improved OOP, support for type checking and default arguments. But yes, still a long way from a general purpose language.
