I used this back in the day after i left university with free MATLAB.

Very functional, but struggled (8 years ago was the last I tried) with large datasets, especially variable exploring. It also was missing signal processing and filtering libraries back then.

I had since switched to python with numpy, Pandas, scipy, and matplotlib and it is phenomenal.

I would try it out because it has probably improved a ton, but Python is now available in excel (and it already was in libreoffice) for sharing scripts with people without python at work, so I don't know if it is worth it lol.

Do it for the nostalgia, bro. I enjoyed using octave at uni as well. Gotta be some fun in there somewhere now. 😁
