Yeah, I'm not sure I believe that either--it's calling the same libraries python calls. It is possible to write matlab code that runs incredibly slowly--using eval to make anonymous functions calls to (badly-strided) individual elements of an array--but decent matlab and numpy code should be pretty comparable. > It's not Matlab, it's that most people who write Matlab code aren't professional programmers This, 1000x, this. There's also the time-honored tradition of a quick one-off script "to see if it works" that somehow becomes permanent.
