Matlab: Great for prototyping and tinkering.
- klysm 6y agoThat’s a pretty hot take
- shaklee3 6y agoThere's a reason Matlab is still around and doing well. It's so much faster to prototype things in, and systems engineers all know it well. Yes, python can do most of the same things, but it's nowhere near as easy and integrated.
- olodus 6y agoI thought it was only because it had gotten into universities curriculums. Mostly joking. I agree that Matlab is quite good to quickly setting up certain things and can even be quite elegant when used by someone who knows it. I do however feel like it should not get as central of a place in education as it got at my university. I would prefer more open alternatives to be used to maybe inspire more simpler exploration by the students.
