Though I agree with you that typically more than one language is necessary, 
there is _nothing_ Matlab/Octave can do and other language can't with the same 
ease or even easier and more elegantly and less bug-prone.


As I have just written, it's the _packages_ which makes people using 
Matlab/Octave.
