MATLAB is an okay programming language when used in the right context. It’s intended for scientific applications, so trying to do your standard object oriented programming with it gets weird. I think we forget that some things were made for a specific purpose- you know, a hammer can’t do everything and all that.

MATLAB is bad not because it's not object-oriented, but because it's proprietary and can't be run without an IDE.
