.@o_guest I prefer Matlab's syntax to Python/R, feels more intuitive to me. Octave is an option (open-source w/ Matlab-like syntax)

Matlab's matrix syntax beats the pants of Numpy, but that's the *only* thing it does better. I am avoiding R.
-
well that and making the big bucks haha
-
I know! And then they spend it all writing toolboxes for Finance instead of fixing the broken stuff
-
the broken stuff is going to be abandonware soon IMHO
-
Matlab is an unstoppable force at this point I'm afraid
-
Really!? I've seen
@ResearchSoftEng stats that show it's on the decline... at least I think that is what I saw. -
Languages take a LONG time to die. Exhibit A, FORTRAN. Exhibit B, C

have you used PsychoPy? Met a lot of cog neuro people recently that are switching from Eprime.
-
haven't used eprime ever! Used python before I was a psychologist though.
-
also yes, I have.

-
are you looking to switch from eprime to something else/better in your lab?
-
no I'm a book editor. Working with the PsychoPy team on a couple of programming books. Interested in how people use software
-
Ah, well, I'm not the best to ask but it might be a really useful survey if somebody did try to find out what typical ppl use!
-
if we do one, I'll send you the results!

oh dear - I like Matlab and also run a course where I try to explain neural networks in terms of neuroscience (and vice versa)

Yup. Not only that, but archive/RDM/data folks are already annoyed at the work they'll have to do on your behalf in the future.
