Personally, i'm lashing out because C is still the only language that allows me to write formally verified code. Also because the ABI doesn't change every fucking month.
But i write my scripts in OcaML.

As an engineer, you're not going to need any programming language other than MATLAB.

>>8954023
Not everything engineers do involves heavy number crunching!
As an engineer you also need VB (to work with data that's already in Excel format) and Javascript.

But oh, how I wish there were a language with the array manipulation capabilities of MATLAB, the ubiquity, versatility and the variable system of Javascript, and the user friendliness of Hypercard!

Octave is extremely easy and I do all my research in it. (Numerical Analysis, ODEs).
It is exactly like MATLAB, except with no add ons. So if you are considering buying vanilla MATLAB, might as well just use Octave.

>>8953973
As a mathematician, I don't have any particular use for object orientation. If I need something computed, it will probably be simpler to just stick in C.

Serious question to everyone who uses MATLAB: Why do you use it?

I use it, but am interested in other people's responses.

>>8955020
It's not that bad: platform independent coding (where there are JVMs), good performance (a bit worse than ideal C or C++ code), and a massive, massive standard library, and a massive, massive amount of free third party libraries.

I also do C++ at work.

Complete lies. Java is one of the most unportable languages around. Code written for one JVM often doesn't work for another and there's fuck all you can do about it.

Javascript should always be written as a single word, to avoid confusion with Java which is a totally different language.

One of our mandatory programming courses was in Matlab. Turns out it's flexible and easy to use and I mostly do some simple number crunching anyway. Python is probably pretty similar but I simply never learned it. C/C++ just serves another purpose really.

Why don't we have standardized 1:1 programming?

Assigning each one of these letters to a physical button and having them appear on screen after a single press is definitely the best way to put words on screen. Function and goal should supersede formalism and aesthetic. All websites are permutations of a handful of basic elements that can come into being by the pressing of buttons they are assigned to. The plethora of variation would be instantly thrown in the trash if such a standard would be adopted and such a device would be built, just like all aspects of manual writing were thrown away once 1:1 writing machines appeared.

I use Python (and Mathematica, if that counts) and have to use MatLab and C++ for my Job.

I'm interested in dependent types. I try to establish a reading club on the google group for Idris in July and am willing to put in some organizational work. Anyone tell me if they're interested here?

Too bad you weren't around when APL was popular. Single symbol keywords, with custom keycaps for programmers.

You can try J instead (same idea, but uses one or two ASCII symbols for keywords).

I was reading through that and got to the fizzbuzz problem and before I was done reading the question I knew the answer was modulus math. How hard can this be? That's CS 101-tier shit. As I read on I remembered this gem from earlier:
>Except for JavaScript "engineering" and anything related to algorithms, my technical skills are sharp.
In other words she has to technical skills.

Please, just let it die already. It's had a good run, but when you've got primitive types called 'wchar_t' it's clearly time to give it a rest.

I try to use Scipy for most things and then only use MATLAB when a toolbox is going to make my work a lot easier or I need to do Simulink

I don't like Octave because it only really implements the really core level Matlab stuff which you might as well just use Scipy for. Quite a few of the toolboxes for Octave have missing functions which makes it not practical to use

>>8956879
Why use scipy when you have matlab?

>>8956905
Mostly just portability. My research is in channel coding so there's a lot of simulation and I'd rather anyone who is reading a paper of mine be able to run the simulations so I do it in SciPy, even though I'm 99% sure that whoever would be interested in analyzing/tweaking my code would have MATLAB.

>>8956637
The short version is that I work in databases and big data. Performance for our customers is extremely important, and that's why we do some of our work in C++. Most of our work is, however, in Java.

>>8956307
>>language X can do something in n<m loc, while language Y does it in m loc.
>This is a fucking retarded way of gauging a language.

It's an important metric, but there are several other equally important metrics.

>>8956756
IIRC, wchar_t is in C too. Also, no one uses wchar_t, or at least no one should. The thing is broken from day 1.

True. Sounds like a fine method of distinguishing a WORN language.

C++11 because it's fast, very fast.
