Is Matlab worth it?

Almost all of those complaints are either trivial things like "waaaaahhhh i dont like arrows and i want to pretend you can't use equal signs for assignment" or incredibly stupid things like "why can't i use pythonic idioms in languages that aren't python".

Come back when you have a complaint about the language that isn't just someone else's refusal to learn the basics.

>Almost all those things are things that make programming horrible for anyone who is used to any other language, for no good reason
That's right. I know those are all things you get used to eventually, but I don't really want to.

Not really into technical computing myself but what about Julia? It's pretty fucking fast andalso free.

Well yeah cause my school is filled with cuck brainless who need a class to spend half the semester going over stuff we'be already learned. Apparently they're changing the curriculum to cover more of that stuff AFTER this semester so I kinda got cucked

Your unwillingness to learn is not a fault of the language.

promising but not quite ready for primetime

Your legal department does.

My legal department doesn't know half the shit I do is gray area.

"Advanced Engineering Mathematics" means different things in different schools. Sometimes it's the ODEs+matrix algebra crash course, others it's a PDEs+complex variables crash course, and others still it's a math method course beyond PDEs.
