Personally, I dont like the Matlab language. I like the "no surprises" approach of Python, the consistency along different objects, and of course the vast builtin data structures that let me model almost anything. None of these are present in Matlab. I hate gotchas like the degenerate case of sum(M) for a one-row matrix (avoidable, yes, but "Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules."). Of course, if all you do is working with matrices, it's wonderful! -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
