Blog post on Matlab! Thank you everybody & enjoy! 

I hate Matlab: How an IDE, a language, and a mentality harm

You said "nothing, at least superficially, seems hard..." You mean: it seems easy, but actually not because no transferable skills?
I thought I explained this repeatedly in the main text. I posit that Matlab does not teach you transferable skills.
And one of the many reasons why [see more in the blog post] is because it's too easy. Python is also easy but without an IDE.
Being easy in of itself is not the core problem. Think of the reasons why it's a problem as reasons why we classify stuff as
birds. We certainly look to see if they can fly, but penguins can't fly and are birds and bats can fly and aren't.
The reason I dislike Matlab for teaching in psychology as a first language is complex and so because over the last week I
failed to express it over a few tweets [cos it's complex] I wrote it up as a blog post. I guess if you disagree with complex
reasons of your own you might have to write up a longer reply too. Twitter lets you use images as text for a longer reply.
MATLAB is the language used by some of the most popular open source projects in neuroimaging, by # of users.
they aren't open source by definition...
if you share your source they are. One closed source C compiler does not make all C code closed source.
certainly not, but we have open source ones and the BNF for C
I hear MathWorks has a contract out on you Olivia ;)
I'm scared. I'll hide at [redacted] until the heat is off.
