Not always. One of our machine learning courses was taught in Matlab. Unsurprisingly, nobody used Matlab after uni, or 5 years later.

- gibolt 2y agoMatlab is fairly easy to work with (initially) and is great when learning a new concept, instead of learning that plus arbitrary syntax of the tool. It isn't particularly fast though, and the simplicity quickly becomes an obstacle when solving a real problem.
- lmpdev 2y agoAlso did an algorithms in machine learning course in matlab It’s a great language choice for it It weeded out the script kiddies who incorrectly signed up wanting a Tensorflow or PyTorch course It’s a fairly bland and slow but usable language for the task Shits me off to no end a lot of engineering courses moreorless indoctrinate their students into using it unconditionally, though Octave exists but is a relative pain to use
- plaguuuuuu 2y agoIt's still a pain spending time learning matlab syntax/semantics when you could just, idk, use C or Haskell instead
