The first claim is that MATLAB code is more readable to scientists and engineers than Python code that performs a similar task. I'll attempt to counter many of those claims in this post. While a few of the claims in the post are true, the vast majority of them are seriously misleading. It is distributed and used typically through a very polished integrated development environment (IDE) and has many add-on toolboxes for a vast array of scientific computing tasks. MATLAB is a useful and powerful computing language and a lot more. I was recently made aware of a post on the Mathworks website where they compare MATLAB and Python in an attempt to make the case that MATLAB is a superior language for engineering and scientific computation. The hyperlink to the original post below has been replaced on the Mathworks website with links to Python/Matlab interoperability features. However, there may be other useful tips contained in the notebook, so I am posting it anyway. UPDATE : Mathworks removed the original post this blog was meant to address around the time I completed writing it.
