This is exactly why I have urged people to learn Matlab (on this forum and others). Specifically, I'm sick of seeing hundreds of lines of code written in Java that are essentially a poor (slow) implementation of a one liner in Matlab that uses a 20 year old fortran library. I have to go back all of 8 days to find the following quote in response to my plea:
"...and I question the usefulness of learning MATLAB unless you actually need it."
The problem is, most people don't realize they need it and just plod along writing hundreds of lines of python, perl, ruby, java, etc. implementing a decade old numerical computation.
- ejs 18y agoWhen you write a lot of matlab it becomes a different way of thinking. Instead of the for loops multiple levels deep you can write it all as operations to multi-dimensional matrices. I would agree that many problems people spend time on can be found as single commands in matlab.
