Intentional or not, I enjoy how humorously provocative this comment is. It's not possible to understand why someone would prefer Matlab through a software engineer's lense. Our jobs are different and a real programming language isn't anywhere on our list of needs or wants for matrix laboratory work. We actually prefer semantics like copy-on-write and features like dynamically adding fields to structs at runtime. It fits our workflow better, and that's ultimately what matters most. I'm sure one day I'll add Julia to the list of real programming languages that I've used to write a library, but I'll still wrap it and call it from Matlab just like everything else. |
