Amazing impact that person had. Although MATLAB probably kind of outdated these days as anything can be accomplished in Julia and Py and I remember deploying that software being deliberately made difficult by this being shareware. When I studied almost everybody ended up using MATLAB during their study and almost everybody ended up hating it when it came to publishing results and doing demonstrations.
- bsoles 4mo ago> Although MATLAB probably kind of outdated these days as anything can be accomplished in Julia and Py. Literally every major brand car runs code built with MATLAB and Simulink. Same goes for every modern aircraft, space vehicle, etc. Far from being outdated.
- kenty 4mo agoI don't doubt the historical usage but try deploying a Matlab program, The licensing terms and the hassle of the whole runtime are horrible and I'm not aware of any algorithm or location which could not be with reasonable ease implemented via an open language.
- Lensos 4mo agoNo no. MATLAB is used A LOT in industry, today, wherever advanced & embedded control is needed. Even the latest ASML chipmaking machines run on a lot of code (actively) developed in MATLAB. For real-time motion control, MATLAB+Simulink is very powerful in deploying to embedded systems through code generation with the MATLAB Coder toolboxes (which automatically turns MATLAB/Simulink stuff into C/C++). No horrible MATLAB runtime business needed then.
