Ehh, I absolutely did that. Heck, for a class I reverse engineered a robot's bluetooth control api because coding up computer vision was easier in python than in matlab (which had a provided "SDK" that some TA had written in years prior).
I spent less time doing that issue than it took to debug a missing comma on the end of a line in some matlab code (for a different assignment in a later class) that led to some incorrect matrix operation and completely failing code. I do not like matlab.
- willis936 6y agoI think it’s a matter of experience. I’ve used MATLAB for nearly a decade and can whip up optimized bit banging, data acquisition, and signal processing code in a matter of minutes. When I try the same in python I spend days trying to figure out what the “right” solution to something is, try 3-4 options, find the issues with each, and by that point I’m burnt out and tell myself it isn’t worth it to try to replace MATLAB.
