why nobody uses matlab I wonder why most people now don't use matlab. I guess the reason is matlab is not free, so companies don't want to use it, then interviewees don't use it, then schools don't encourage it, then nobody ends up using it.
But I like it, compared to C++, Python, for it's convenient to plot figures without needing to import any libraries or header files, let alone those powerful ODE solvers.
I might be wrong on any of the above points, as I'm not most familiar with other languages. Any comments?
Most people are using Python or R for data-science, I like Python more because python have enormous amount of libraries for datascience related tasks (for data-analysis, plotting, out of the box machine-learning &amp; deep learning algorithms) and huge open source community to support/help.
You can read more about individual language capabilities everything can be done using any of these languages (Python/R/Matlab) it's just the matter of perspective.
