Comment on 'Why I like MATLAB' by Sérgio Santos

mike croucher: I already knew numpy, scipy and some of the other python libraries, but not Python(x,y). It seems like a great environment to code in. So many independent libraries might make it a bit hard to get used to, but it seems to be worth a try. Thanks for sharing!

fabiopedrosa: I think it would end up more like short and bitter ;)

Its is commonly known that webpages should not have more than 15/20kb. That being said, think twice before doing a post on reasons to hate c++ :)

Hi I agree, MATLAB is a great product and I use it a lot but given your reasons for liking it you could have just as easily called your post 'Why I like Python?' since much of what you said about MATLAB is true of Python too. If you are using Windows then you might want to try Python(x,y) http://www.pythonxy.com/foreword.php You can't beat the price since it is free :) Best Wishes, Mike

You should also do the post on C++.

I am excited about Erlang too. Since that talk, I am curious about the language and it's potencial. :P

I didn't knew Assembla, but it doesn't seem to be as usable as GitHub. Too much features I think.

And although I do prefer the command line power sometimes, if I'm coding at an IDE, I want everything integrated with it.

Just to point out you have all those features in other tools like assembla that use SVN and other VCS. And the problem with tools is that people who use git day-to-day prefer the command line and it's power (or else another simpler tool like hg would do the job quite well). One exception would be the git-gui for staging chunks of code inside a file. And if you use git seriously, you end up writing your own scripts for handling your workflow, and use git as a framework instead of a tool. From testing to deployment, you can automate everything.

Although I usually like Seth Godin books, this one left me a little bit disapointed. It sounds a bit too simplistic, with too many disconnected short stories, reminding me of those self-help books that have been flooding the bookstores. The message is, as usual with Seth, very thought-provoking but it's recaped over and over, with similar superficial arguments. Don't ge me wrong, the book is good but other books from the same author like Purple Cow or Permission Marketing are simply brilliant and this one is not.
