What a waste of money when Python is free

I mean, I agree with you, I'd never pay for a Matlab license for myself if I ever decide to go the private engineering consultant route. Just sharing my experience that yes, it's used in the professional world.

It's just so weird to me. I've worked at a few big companies and Matlab was just kind of out of the question at any of them. It was Excel or Python
