So, how is this different from engineers and MATLAB?

[YurgenJurgensen]

There are people who start new projects in MATLAB in 2025 for reasons other than ‘our expensive bespoke libraries only support MATLAB and it’d cost millions to rewrite them’?

There is also all the helpful work that Mathworks does such as Simulink ... Also, consider that MATLAB works much more like how one would write on paper (including 1-indexing) and is what people are used to at this point.
