<p>Great assumptions, you are wrong on both by the way. Speaking of CS, if you are so inclined to think others don’t share the same view, try emailing Bjarne Stroustrup about this. If I really need to cite sources, maybe you’ll trust what he has to say on this subject (if he responds that is). I’m not really sure why you think I would feel inclined to make things up on a website I hardly visit, but your attitude is quite hilarious.</p>
<p>By the way, just to point out, is an Ipod a calculator? No, but it can function as one… Is my blackberry an “mp3 player”? No, but it can function as one also… Just because it has the functionality to do something, doesn’t mean it actually is one.</p>
<p>I’m done spamming this thread about a pointless argument. My original intent was to inform the OP that learning MATLAB as “a language” is not a robust idea, unless he/she is just beginning programming and wants to learn the structure/basic syntax of “a language”.</p>
