Matlab is a very flexible and productive environment for doing exploratory programming. In my experience it even beats python (ipython + (emacs+auto-complete))[1]. The ability to execute small blocks of code in sequence using the %% notation for marking blocks was[2] a real joy to work with. I thought C++ (.mex or .oct files) are where algorithms go once they've been proven useful for 'normal people'. [1] http://bfrsblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-emacs-first-clas... [2] How I miss the free Matlab license at the Uni. Last I checked a commercial license costs about $2000. So, now I've been forced to shift to Octave. Heck, if Octave is good enough for Andrew Ng, I guess its good enough for me. |
