I work in finance, and Matlab is used a lot here. I work mostly with Python/NumPy/SciPy/SimPy stack so I do not have a lot of first-hand experience. But from what I am hearing from my peers, their problems with Octave boil down to mostly two things:
1. Small incompatibilities, that make your life more complicated when you exchange Matlab code and/or maintain other people's code.
2. Lack of alternatives to specialized toolboxes, like Simulink, statistical or financial packages etc.
- forkandwait 16y agoWRT to incompatibilities, it would be great for Octave if they could file bug reports. WRT to packages/ toolboxes, Octave and Octave Forge have not quite reached maturity, and there is ongoing debate about how to do that. WRT to Simulink,... that is such a specialized graphical thing, I don't think it is coming down the pike any time soon. Somebody else mentioned an alternative...
