Also you keep ignoring the issue of how Matlab is not #openscience. It's fine if you want to ignore everything I said, but then it's totally unproductive to keep going back and forth.

People can decide for themselves what they want to use. Most scis are switching to
#opensource IIRC.@ResearchSoftEng@SoftwareSaved can probably link to something on that.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

YES! People can do good, solid, reproducible work with any tool, whether it's matlab, python, or hand-assembled. You can see what their code does and copy it if you want. That's open. Your claim was that matlab is bad, bad for science and bad scientist. I think that's too strong.

No. I keep pasting this one for you, in the blogging it has links too. Are you sure you really read it? "Secondly, Matlab is closed source, proprietary, and prohibitively expensive if you have to buy it yourself."http://neuroplausible.com/matlab

"They obfuscate their source code in many cases, meaning bugs are much harder to spot and impossible to edit ourselves without risking court action. Moreover, using Matlab for science results in paywalling our code."http://neuroplausible.com/matlab

Do not reply to me again because you're not engaging in good faith.

No, you can't. Matlab changes the guts of their code and often its obfuscated.https://twitter.com/prokraustinator/status/1031554859370201088?s=19 …

Matt Krause @prokraustinatorReplying to @o_guest @NeuroStats and 3 othersYou don't need matlab to read an .m file. Anything that can read a python script will allow you to inspect .m files too. Open Science can mean many things but "released in a form that is maximally convenient for me" is not one of them. Can you see what they did? Job done.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Anyway it's pointless. I'm done with you because the audience can make their mind up with what I've said. It's not my definition of #openscience it's the only one out there.
