- RosanaAnaDana 7y agoNot in production environments. Push is (as it should be) towards open source.
- kgwgk 7y agoMathworks' revenue is $1bn, it has doubled in the last decade. Someone may be using Matlab.
- Spivak 7y agoA ridiculously large number of people use Matlab as a tool. I can't think of a single engineer that doesn't curse its name regularly but I've yet to encounter any actual applications written in it. It's Excel for engineers.
- gmueckl 7y agoI have seen people doing amazing and complex things with Matlab, including fancy GUIs and stuff. But it is almost exclusively used for internal tools as far as I know.

The Matlab IDE is not bad though and is a lot like Python's Spyder IDE. Also, a lot of Matlab commands have fully browsable source provided I've been told.
