IMHO, a good syntax would features some syntax shortcuts of Matlab, which are
very handy.
For instance [1:n] is a vector of integers from one to one.
if V is a vector and I a vector of integers, V(I) returs the V(i) for all the
indices i that belong to I.
There is a left and right division operator for matrices (which works for
rectangular matrices by solving the adequate least squares problem).
Etc...
We can discuss off list if you are interested.
BTW, I am due to publish a Matlab primer on the web for my students better
sooner than later.
Context for this is in an answer to one of your post in another thread.
Best
François
