I appreciate the insight, and you're not wrong. It's vital to surface these issues as a precursor to attacking a problem!

As
@o_guest once told me, there's no formal spec for Matlab: https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/48745-where-is-the-syntax-for-matlab-rigourously-defined … Yacc and Bison aren't going to help anyone here. Plenty of things compile to JS, so one can avoid JS.pic.twitter.com/V2I9UTGbjM

Meanwhile, who wants to determine the epsilon above or below which Matlab refuses to use (wretch, heave) a *float* as an array index empirically? How many other such "features" lurk like mines beneath the surface? I wondered if even Octave had a grammar. -Nah.pic.twitter.com/xVCamkjbNX

Yessssssss. No BNF for Matlab! The only reference AFAIK you will find is http://neuroplausible.com/matlab because it was leaked to me from an ex-employee.

I don't have beef with R.

I didn't say you did. It was more a comment that it also doesn't have a formal spec.

It has no BNF(?) ...that's a little surprising.
