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

Southern Ocean ecosystem modelling (antequated data munging)

very interested in the social history of all this, you made me realize I know some interesting snippets
-
tell me more, I would love to read a blog post of yours as mine one based on this is taking a more pedagogical angle
-
where/how did you get onto this topic?
-
do you mean of Matlab in science? or something less specific or more?
-
yes, of Matlab bigness specifically - very interested in the broader work too though
-
because I work in science and most ppl in my field use matlab and suck at coding because of it

oh, also **graphics**, lots of IDL-starters moved to Matlab circa 2002 because "finishing the plots was easier"
