I'm interested in this comparison (not in starting yet another flame fest). I actually know nothing about matlab, but almost all my peers use it. One of the things I recall reading on this subject is that matlab doesn't support OO style programming. I happened to look on the matlab vendor's website, and found that it does have classes. OTOH, I've seen at least some matlab code, and never saw anyone use these features.
Actually, I think I know why you've never seen anyone use matlab objects, and this is because they are implemented in a rather strange way that makes them painful to use. I know because I've used them a lot myself, and I still have the scars, Matthew
