I have never heard of that — huh interesting, Here we need to do magic for those who use it on HPC cluster.

hpc setups can be outside the bounds of the volume license sometimes. never did hpc matlab :P
-
yeah me neither I just know they need to juggle licences and other constraints which only matlab makes them do

never got into it

not ruby, anaconda
