One Reddit user posed this question: Why is MATLAB uncommonly used in computer science/engineering? Keep reading to hear what the Reddit community had to say!

“MATLAB, at its core, excels at systems of linear equations and differential equations.

If you work in a field that features systems of linear equations or differential equations, then you’ll probably be using MATLAB.”

“I’ve never interacted with a major tech company that wasn’t using MATLAB.”

MATLAB IDE is the best I’ve used. Need a profiler? Debugger? It’s all there.

MATLAB/Simulink is widely used across many industries to develop models and generate auto-code for real-time applications.”

“You can use it to solve typical engineering problems without much knowledge in CS, which is impossible in other languages.”

If you are a MATLAB fan, we’re sure you will enjoy the code for this beating heart, and don’t forget to leave us a comment telling us why you love MATLAB!
