Re: Octave's and Matlab's limitations

[Jake]

I didn't read *all* of the chain of emails before this little discussion started, so I'm not keen on the base purpose here. My comment at this point would be that if someone finds MATLAB or Octave limiting to their needs (and they don't want to use another language), then the only solution is to help themselves and others by writing code to make the software less limiting, e.g. if someone doesn't like string processing, then make some string processing functions to meet your needs.

We are trying to make Octave less for digital monks, but it's hard work.
