True regarding Matlab -- in fact, it is already very hard for the

their money here, it's worth pointing out that the situation regarding
numerical computing is different -- indeed, the Sloane Foundation
recently put very substantial monetary support behind development of
the scientific Python stack (organized around IPython), which is
really awesome.

And not just Sloan.  Travis Oliphant et. al. got the $3 million DARPA
grant for moving forward the scientific python stack:

It is not very easy to make people swith from matlab to python (and thus Sage) tools in numerics... Matlab is turning very expensive for rasearch institutions, but:

-1) People are really addict to matlab,
2) There are matlab alternatives with a matlab like syntax; we know Octave, but consider also Scilab and look at this:

Students participate to these contests... it's a lot of people.
