I must admit... I switched exclusively to Numpy / Scipy / Matplotlib about 3 years ago and never looked back. The power, flexibility, and extensive developer libraries offered by Python are unmatched (IMHO).
Oh, and for anyone who would like to try out vector computation on a GPU (eg. CUDA), you should check out the Theano project (a symbolic math library that can offload execution to the GPU): http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/introduction.html http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/introduction.html

- forkandwait 16y agoI love scipy, ... except for zero based indexing. I might not be as bright as some, but I hated always figuring out "If I have a set of ten items, the index is from 0 to 9". Zero indexing is also NOT how real math is written in textbooks. C uses zero indexing because DOES describe byte offsets really well. In octave/ matlab the for looops are a lot easier to think about. All in all, octave is quickly becoming a very viable alternative to Matlab.
