title: Matlab Coder vs hand coding?
body: <p>Some background for people reading this in the future (in case it's not locked). I tend to do my programming in a high level language to understand the problem first. After covering all possible corner cases I proceed to translating the code to C++ (or C).</p>
  
  <p>Most of the code I write has maths in it and so MATLAB is the language I use (the alternative for me is Python). Anyway, I then translate the code from MATLAB to C++ by hand.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there is any advantage/disadvantage in using MATLAB Coder? It's a new product and very expensive but apart from the time it saves in translation is there any other benefit?</p>
