@LuisMendo ha, I noticed that bug too. But then I wrote something like i:z and figured that was pretty stupid to do either way. But I suppose there are indeed cases where it would matter.
Of course, I should've mentioned it, because I'm sure there's a silver badge for "discover ten bugs in a single golfing language"
And life is all about fake internet points. Once the bitcoin finally collapses, I think SE points will become legal currency.
@DJMcMayhem Thanks :-) I'm not really sure... People without knowledge about MATLAB/Octave may find MATL hard. But then, you learned it without having used either of those. I'll give it a thought! Thanks for the idea. And of course if someone else wants to propose it, go ahead and I can help writing the proposal.
@Sanchises There should be one, anyway :-)
@Mr.Xcoder Suever seems not to be pingable here or in the MATLAB room. Let's hope he eventually drops by!
@LuisMendo We could have an Octave month first... Although I think MATL should be comprehensible to most programmers. It's only real peculiarities are the non-ragged arrays and by extension cell arrays.
Oh, and the indexing maybe, but that should be easy enough.
Thanks! I can be of help if you need to ellaborate some point. What DJ said about vectorization (and broadcast) is probably one of the most salient points. Things like this or this (Not sure if the proposal needs to be that specific, though)
