Why are you not coding in Fortran, Holla Forums?

Because i'm not a senile old person

This is not enough for you?

...

Matlab is fantastic if you want to write some code very quickly. This is important if you're doing research and are moving from one idea to another rapidly and don't know what you'll be doing in a couple of months time. The ability to implement GMRES or solve a matrix system in a single line of code is fantastic.

The only catch with matlab is that it can only use one cpu at a time so you cannot parallelize loops. Outside of that it's a perfect language for mathematicians.

Are you being sarcastic?

I value my time. If it needs to run I use Python 3, if it needs to run fast I use C.

...

FORTRAN is too slow to write
it has a useability problem
we have an attention span problem
it does not work in this day and age, the needs of today require complex software that needs reconfiguration within minutes
there could still be useful areas for FORTRAN, but it wouldn't have magick C prestige behind it, so don't expect the next privacy-focused group text messager or gecko fork to be written in FORTRAN

Even R has (very shitty) support for parallel code. Surely Matlab must have something similar.

I am too busy learning another language I won't ever use: Smalltalk.
