MATLAB vs Octave

MATLAB is much faster and the built in IDE is the greatest IDE ever created and the only one worth using.

On the other hand, Octave's has some syntax extensions that really make it look nicer.

I can't decide.

Thanks, that's quite interesting. I honestly didn't know bc could do all this. What about the performance? Reading hdf5 data? Plotting?

ATS is certainly great, but I'm not a mathematician and have little use for it.
