Good question. Let's start saying that Datastripes isn't trying to replace Matlab/Octave/etc. It's closer to a more lightweight scenario builder that runs entirely in the browser. So instead of coding a model, you drop data in, build a flow (filters, regressions, clustering, projections), then tweak inputs and watch the charts update live. We started with the idea of no backend, no install, runs in WASM/WebGPU. Obv, this strategy cannot be a one-size-fits-all, but it covers a lot of use cases in business and educational domains. It's less about heavy numerical libraries, more about quick "what if" exploration for non-technical users or teams that don't want to set up an environment. Think smaller/faster, but also easier to share where data stays local.
