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.

Great News Indeed!
Finally I hear what I've been waiting for! It is great to find out that Mathworks are taking the Mac seriously finally. Not these lousy X11 ports that don't feel like true Mac OS citizens.
When do you expect the true Mac release to ship?
Also, will this be a semi-pure Mac app, or will it literally be a 100% pure Cocoa app like we all want it?
