At university when we struggled with Matlab and the professor told us that we need to become good at it to get a job we laughed at him and told him that nobody in the industry uses Matlab for anything anymore and he should update himself on how people in the industry work!
That was 15 years ago, now I'm seeing Matlab on every other step in the automobile industry. In autonomous drive, in AUTOSAR like https://www.matlabexpo.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/company/events/conferences/matlab-expo-korea/2024/kr-expo-2024-hyundai-autosar-mobilgene.pdf and so on.
So sorry for not believing in Matlab back then.
