A couple of years ago I came across a paper on Gaussian Mixture Models. Googled the author, downloaded their MATLAB code from their University homepage (with a timestamp more than 25 years ago), and installed the most recent version of GNU Octave. Everything ran absolutely flawlessly the first time.
By comparison, whenever I encounter Python code just a few years old, half the time it's (almost irreparably) broken.
- BlueTemplar 4y agoGrowing pains going from Python 2 to 3 ? (Are you sure Octave didn't have simular ones when it was as young ? Not to mention that they are kind of forced to follow behind Matlab : for instance IIRC they only recently started to think about adding Unicode support ?)
- tmtvl 4y agoWhen GNU Octave was as young as Python? Python is two years older.
