While this thread is super off-topic (and long enough that I'm not going to quote it), I'm actually finding it very interesting, as a non-MATLAB person, to find out what I need to say to the MATLAB mafia here to demonstrate that MATLAB has sufficient flaws and non-followers "out in the real world" that perhaps certain classes could allow their students to use other languages, like Python.
Could those contributing here put up a Cookbook page of "reasons why we've moved on from MATLAB", to be used as a resource by people trying to convince supervisors/professors/sponsors/clients that they should be allowed to use Python? It would be important for such a page to be polite and not offensive to those readers, who may like MATLAB. A similar page for IDL would be great....and did anyone notice that IDL 8.0 has a number of language enhancements, all designed to make it more like Python? Sadly, they fall well short. --jh-- _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
