I'm guessing the downvotes have nothing to do with MatLab and more to do with your choice of phrasing (regardless of your actual intent).

It reads less like you are asking a question, and more like "well yeah, duh, of course that's why they did that".

I appreciate your honest feedback but I have to disagree. The article was about software. The comments:

> (him) This software was written in Matlab. Here is a link.

> (me) Why do you think they wrote it in Matlab?

I really don't understand how the intention of my question is ambiguous to anyone. But luckily this issue is completely trivial anyway I suppose.
