Does anybody know how Matlab became so big in science? What's the story? It's expensive, inflexible & not pedagogical. How did this happen?
like Excel so they just edit stuff manually, never learning to code for real...

true - the GUI part of matlab has dumbed down things a bit too much. But IMHO, given a good mentor/prof it can be a valuable teaching tool
-
I still want it to be just another language people know (or don't). Python is so much better.

-
for sure - I encourage my crew to learn matlab, python and R. Some of the brave ones try C++
-
that's really super what do they use C++ for though?
-
C++ for Speed, Python is slooooooow
-
this is why I know C.
-
if you're going C++ might as well go C.
INB4: yeah yeah superset.
