The syntax sugar helps when prototyping ideas, which is why R
and Octave
(MATLAB) are so useful.
Do R, Octave, or Matlab have the ability to define arrays on
the stack? -- Andrei
No they don't, at least not to my knowledge and we use Matlab
every day at my workplace.
I think what Uri is referring to is the very low resistance once
sees in the syntax of R, Matlab, Python when going from an idea
or algorithm on paper to code.
I've always found dynamic arrays in D are perfectly fine for
rapid prototyping code, however, my situation may be different
from that Uri.
