Does anybody know how Matlab became so big in science? What's the story? It's expensive, inflexible & not pedagogical. How did this happen?

This. So many great functions. Very good support and tutorials. And also it was the first language I learned.

when vendors are writing frameworks/packages AND the core language, you can’t beat those docs. (NumPy/SciPy are good tho.)

I just can't take Matlab seriously but I respect you have overheads and money for licence altho hpc would be tough regardless
