I was gonna write something about how matlab isn't really that bad. And then I thought about how it's impossible to do anything with strings, y(0)=1; gives an error, variables from inside a function aren't stored in the workspace even if they are called from the workspace (among other stupid crap with functions), and God help your soul if you ever type the word "classdef" into an m-file. It's a good thing some of the built in functions are really powerful.
