About Matlab (or Octave)
By HAL9000, 11 years ago, In English

Is there any chance that Matlab is included in the available languages for submitting in Codeforces? I understand that many of the features of Matlab would not result in something fair compared to the other available languages, but, anyway, I believe that even using the language as it is (excluding most of the "unfair" facilities) would be a VERY nice addition for many people. This is my humble opinion, and I would like to know the opinion of the community. Thanks to everyone.

EDIT: maybe the right addition would be Octave (which is mostly compatible), since Matlab is proprietary, as r__ pointed below. ****

In my opinion it is very doubtful idea. Matlab was created for another tasks.
