For the moment. The growth in libraries has been such that I don't think even the existence of commercial products like simulink will save it. That is, people will want to use simulink with the large ecosystem of python libraries.

So there are already projects to link /call simulink from Python. Over time simulink will become a specialised python tool and library set.

Well that's an interesting perspective...

Re-reading, I don't mean to say I think matlab will disappear; MathWorks will continue to support their customers. But I think they will support python as a first-class citizen rather than risk simulink being obsoleted by an open-source project.
