          We weren’t doing any ressource extensive computations with Matlab, mainly just for teaching FEM, as we’ve had an extensive collection of scripts for that purpose, and pre- and some post processing.

      I was telling a colleague about how my department started using Rust for some parts of our projects lately. (normally Python was good enough for almost everything but we wanted to try it out)

      They asked me why we’re not using MATLAB. They were not joking. So, I can at least tell you their reasoning. It was their first programming language in university, it’s safer and faster than Python, and it’s quite challenging to use.
