The MathWorks, Inc. [http://www.mathworks.com/]
styles MATLAB
[http://www.mathworks.com/products/]
as "the language of technical computing".  MathWorks is an interesting
company; it continued to hire programmers all through 2002 and at
least the beginning of 2003, despite the general depression in [IT].



The quickest, lightest way to get [Tcl] and MATLAB talking is
through [DDE].  Does MATLAB also offer a [COM] interface?

"GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations", according to its home page
[http://www.octave.org].  Its language "is mostly compatible with
Matlab."
