t. A guy using MATLAB every day in a scientific context
So Veeky Forums, why is MATLAB such a pain in the arse?
Matlab is one of the worst languages ever conceived.
C is "harder" to use because it is lower level and you have to think about what you are doing, it is an awesome language if you use it for the right task.
But matlab is pure garbage, a type system that deserves to get someone killed and just retarded thing like not being able to select things from a matrix you created.
eg.:
ones(10,10)(1,1)
Which works perfectly fine in Octave.
Only its standard library is awesome.
Only if you do matrix stuff, everything else is really fucking slow.
Nothing wrong with that, its main data type are matrices and not arrays, it has a lot more problems then that.
Julia FTW.
yep

daily reminder that

Communism is not and will never be "open"
C++ and C need to be switched and this guy is right
