If (emphasis on if) that is true, the only reason I can see people going there is a false sense of elitism.
As an aside, why do we beat ourselves up so much over this sh*t? We're the most self deprecating group of professionals I've ever met..
Wow, he's really on a roll with his Nov 17th post too: http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/an-open-letter-to-simon-and...
Or like how you bought that vista home basic version of windows and it didn't even have administrator tools enabled.
The grammar is pretty spot-on although there is usually some release latency when Mathworks changes it (obviously since their plans are not made know. Ahead of time).
Octave even has Matlab source level compatibility for mex files although they are slower than octaves own c interface.
If you start drifting away from Matlab core needs into the specialized add ins Mathworks provides (simulink, financial packages, etc) then Octave can't help. If you need those then I find that Matlab is rarely the tool for the job either (you just don't know it yet ;))
You must be a language lawyer in order to do anything moderately complex and then be met with "the standard doesn't say anything about that!" when you realized the standard library doesn't include the most basic of things (yeah comp.lang.c, I'm looking at you...).
Yeah, I know. C++0x will be the grand unifying standard to rule them all...sure.
Will you be on probation after that grammatical "bug"? By the way, you guys sound pretentious as hell. I'm surprised you don't lose more than 20% in the three month trial.
What's the point in the trial? If it's not working out, just fire them.
