From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB
MATLAB is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, Fortran and Python.

It sounds like marketing blurb to me. This was taken from the MATLAB website at some point, so yeah, it's definitely tainted by marketing. I certainly wouldn't mind having a more neutral description in place, but it should cover the load well... Any specific suggestions? regards, Kenneth
