yeah, I don't think people really understand what I was saying.

I love Octave, I hate Matlab. but the price isn't high enough to cause companies to shift in any meaningful way (especially in aerospace).

The twitter post feels like an AI written fever dream of Matlab dying (it isn't x, it's y).

Grad students have license provided by their university, research lab, or company. Doesn't mean I like it...
