Help make MATLAB native on Mac OS X
By Brian Arnold at Thu, Feb 14 2008 10:48am |
The MathWorks is hiring talented Macintosh developers who understand MATLAB and the OS X user experience, who will help make MATLAB run more natively on Mac OS X.

Great news!
Here's to the hope that they take OS X seriously and dedicate a team to making it run natively.
One problem that is immediately obvious is that if, in a perfect world, they had a native Cocoa 64-bit version of MATLAB for OS X, how can they maintain the X11 window forwarding layer for maximum remote usage capability? There's a good clamoring on comp.soft-sys.matlab about this.
My annual Matlab license
My annual Matlab license cost is pretty stiff, for a casual user. The newest Octave is working out pretty well for me in Matlab compatibility.
Octave + TextMate ≠ $$$$
Indeed. Add to it TextMate with the Matlab bundle installed.

I don't recall if TextMate has been discussed here before. In any case, at first glance it might look like just another good text editor. But dig a little deeper and spend some time with it and you will see an entirely different beast. For example, watch the video of a guy programming Python. Having said that, the Matlab bundle could use some more features.
