I had to jump like 3 links and 4 pages down to figure out what runmat actually "is" / "does".
As someone who's done their whole thesis using Octave this looks interesting.
I love Octave, it's one of my favourite languages. And, for reasons I don't understand even myself, I don't like matlab that much (though I admit their documentation is excellent).
How would you "sell" runmat to someone like me?
Coming from Octave, you'll notice significant speedup advantages, you can see some of our benchmarks with it here https://runmat.org/blog/introducing-runmat
Last month, we put out 250+ built-in functions and Accelerate, which fuses operations and routes between CPU/GPU without any extra code/memory management, i.e. no GPUarray.
We're still flushing out the plotting function, but we'll have updates to share around that and a browser version very soon.
I feel like you should be saying Matlab / Octave wherever possible; especially since your target audience is far more likely to be the one that wants a "faster Octave" rather than a "cheaper Matlab".
PS: Don't trust github language stats; half of that code is octave specific, but still gets labelled as Matlab.
