Yes, I imagine the reason Matlab takes so long to start even with -nodesktop is the license manager. I mostly use Matlab/Octave as a glorified graphing calculator (anything complicated I do in ROOT) so the startup time really irks me. That said, I also of course appreciate that it's Free software.
And now that I realize that you're a (the?) core dev, I should say thank you!
- jordigh 11y agoJust a core dev. I actually have not been writing a lot of Octave code recently, and have faded into a more "managerial" or "support" role, helping with the website, the code hosting, and so forth. Other people have done a lot more coding than I recently. Actually, most of my time has been spent talking to business people trying to grow our commercial support business so that Octave development can really take off.
- moonbug 11y agoNope. it's the JVM overhead. Try -nojvm.
- cozzyd 11y agoThanks, that brings it closer in startup time to Octave. However, it disables the ability to make plots, which is a quite severe limitation.
