There is no faster way to have me discard your resume than putting “Matlab” on there. Bonus negative points if you spell it “MatLab”https://twitter.com/neurobongo/status/915722340293636096 …

That's fair and I agree. But, knowledge of the language is different than it's overall capabilities/limitations.
-
I'm criticising the culture around the language. Always have.
-
I wonder if we could change the culture around it, rather than forsaking it altogether...
-
Because it's not open science, I don't have any incentive to. But you can try.
-
I've explained what properties of the language I think support the culture and vice versa. But ultimately it's closed source that gets me.

Fair enough

I have a feeling that if most Matlab users were like you it'd only have a bad name because it's closed source.

Thanks :). ...I can't help that one :/. I have proficiency that if I can understand a problem conceptually, I can program it in Matlab. 1/2

Hard to give that up to learn a new language, though I do use Python sometimes too. 2/2
