      Not just good PR. They were on the early ones to actually make numerical linear algebra libraries accessible to many applied mathematicians. It was a big deal. Value is real, but business model is obsolete.

      There are many applied math-y type things that are not yet well supported in python/Julia. You need to make choices whether to spend weeks/months/years of your life re-building thing someone did well or take the short cut to testing a prototype.

      That's disappointing. I wonder if @russel_winder might know some solution for open source applied maths? Are you all stuck with Matlab?

      It's discipline dependent. Astrophysicists went with Python and create the Astropy subsystem. There is Sympy, but I not au fait with it.

      Some Matlab users who got me in to do Python workshops were interested in the usual Python "data science" stack but also GNURadio.

      Other Matlab users who had me in for Python workshops were interested in the various financial data feeds and found the Python stack fine.

      I see. So basically unless the field adopts open source it's tough. Cultural change of a deeper kind needed before an individual can switch.

      Not necessarily a whole field but a goodly number within. It's the social acceptance of the stack as valid in the field that is critical.

      An individual alone is an outlier. Two or three groups publicly using a technology become a vanguard. After that it blossoms or dies.

      The critical factor, e.g. Astropy, is providing a library that everyone jumps on because it helps everyone, not seen as a USP for one.

      Right, yeah, this makes sense. Thanks. Also to clarify for @NeuroStats when I say move away from Matlab, it's for the kind of work I do.
