You cannot overestimate enough how old folks growing up with Fortran just won't accept Array indizes starting at 0 instead of 1.
Then because professors demand it, colleges buy Matlab campus licenses and "encourage" their staff/students to use it, incorporate in teaching and research.
Sadly, when the student is not on campus anymore, he/she cannot reevaluate old date and in the new job they then demand a matlab license. Its the Matlab tax.

- wirrbel 13y agointeresting. I have so far only read some fortran code, never really dived into it in more detail.
