@rastinza yes, and Python with Numpy works just fine for matrix operations. Unfortunately my fellow engineers don't know how to download packages, use an editors, IDE, etc. as they are not much of programmers so we have to use MATLAB since it comes with an "easy to use GUI".
@hulkavinci
There's no comparison between the ease of use of numpy and that of Matlab.
I heard of Julia, I remember someone told me it's a modern Fortran... I never actually tried it, but it appears interesting.
If that works, and if there are some useful libraries, it could be a good replacement of all that old stuff.
@hulkavinci Everything you say is true.
But it's also true that it saves a bunch of time.
Ever tried matrix operations in python?
Or quick algorithm prototyping in fortran?
Of course, parallel stuff and so on suck, but at least it kind of does what it should
The real big problem is that it's proprietary.
