      Blaming a programming language is the least best way to address the need for quantitative skills in our fields

      '@Neurallegory fair enough, although I'm actually making it clear I blame Matlab the culture, not just the language. 😉

      if 'twas just matlab then you'd see the same problem in R or Octave. It's not matlab it's the acceptance of lazy solutions and lack of rigor

      I think my blog post outlines problems categorically not found in R and I explain what's wrong with Octave also.

      Anything with a GUI is a path to short cuts. Octave is almost indistinguishable from MATLAB save for GUI

      yeah @cMadan obviously is using Matlab in much better way than I've ever witnessed. Unsurprising of course
