Fortran 90 has broadcasting too. NumPy's broadcasting was inspired by Fortran 90, which was the lingua franca of scientific computing in the 1990s. Like NumPy, Fortran 90 is an array language, not a matrix language like Matlab. > There are other major incompatibilities between Matlab and numpy, such > as 0-based indices, and array views. Yes. NumPy is not Matlab and not intending to clone Matlab. Those who want Matlab know where to find it. Those who need a free Matlab clone can download Scilab.
