I took one class on this shit, that's all I know about programming. Is this unironically the best there is?

Python >>> Matlab

The only thing which no one else can do is simulink shit. It's a fucking great tool and generates pretty fucking fast code.
Apart from that anything that matlab does can be done with other tools. Still matlab is okay, but not (((the best)))
Evan Foster
Can you do symbolic calculation in matlab?
Adrian Scott
It's good for its intended purpose. It's not good as a general use programming language.

Most I've done with it was to compute some analytic Jacobians for functions that were too complicated to do by hand.
Jonathan Jones
It's the best language for most enterprise scientists and engineers. MATLAB has an enormous amount of built-in functionality that is reliable and saves engineering teams millions of dollars in work time.
Sebastian Stewart
congrats on coming out
Justin Lewis
Great. All the Python faggots are about to come out of the woodwork.
Elijah Ortiz
No.
Jace Richardson
No. Learn some other languages and then Matlab's limitations become apparent. It's a decent calculator and a shit general purpose language. Fine for quick prototyping and experimentation.
Liam Martinez
Array starts from 1.No.
Jackson Richardson
based
Andrew Bell
Yeah simulink os the real treat here, otherwise you can get scilab and do everything matlab does but for free
Mason Lopez
not based
Angel Lopez
it's unstructured and I hate it
Henry Ramirez
based and blue pilled
Sebastian Roberts
Yes, but maple is better for that.
Elijah Sanchez
Simscape and certified toolboxes are a huge plus too.
John Price
It's the worst language
How the hell do you create a function library? It's cancer
It can produce plots and histograms with ease, but the customization is shit (root is much much better), and they look like shit.
It's also very slow, and can't be parallelized....
Ian Ramirez
not only does matlab have a parallel computing toolbox, during a parallelized loop workers can send computations to the gpu. You can also literally just do cuda through matlab
Tyler Jones
you mean mathematica right

I used to hate all these meme languages until I was forced to port a bunch of old code into matlab/octave. Yeah, it's a piece of shit language, but fucking hell is it convenient. It's especially good for back of the envelope vector calculations and visualisation, so you can decide whether or not to spend the time and effort in building the real thing in an actual programming language.
Thomas Phillips
These posts overall get the point, OP. Matlab is a shit-tier, unimaginably garbage language when it comes to trying to make something yourself that isn't covered by some built-in library or function (hint, 99% of anything useful you will ever program won't be covered by some automated function someone else made), or even just something unconventional and cool. That said, it's built for engineers and practical scientists and all they need is those built-in functions over and over again.
I'd recommend you take even one class to learn a real language allowing actual free expression, like Python, but everyone else here already said that's gay, so idk OP, look for something else.
