Are you still using matlab? Why? Seriously

No, I'm not at university anymore.

Poor prof

We weren't doing any ressource extensive computations with Matlab, mainly just for teaching FEM, as we've had an extensive collection of scripts for that purpose, and pre- and some post processing.

I don't like that they don't write their own algorithms in any other language. I was trying to understand low-pass filters a while back and so many web pages were like, "Call this MATLAB function" or "here's a code generator that puts out bad C for specific filter parameters" Like no, I want the algorithm explained to me...

I was telling a colleague about how my department started using Rust for some parts of our projects lately. (normally Python was good enough for almost everything but we wanted to try it out)

They asked me why we're not using MATLAB. They were not joking. So, I can at least tell you their reasoning. It was their first programming language in university, it's safer and faster than Python, and it's quite challenging to use.

"Just use MATLAB" - Someone with a kind heart who has never deployed anything to anything
