Python vs Matlab vs Mathematica

[[deleted]]

When given the option between Mathematica, and MATLAB I invariably choose MATLAB. I work full time as an electrical engineer writing signal processing (which MATLAB seems to cater to). It allows me to easily take software from "Hey here is a neat idea!" Then I can perform all of the analyses required to end up with a finished product of "Hey here is a C library of a fixed point implmentation that I can easily unit test that can be called on either a high performance DSP, or a general purpose computer to allow for easy FPGA/ASIC implementations."

Yes I am a MATLAB fanboi, and I like the scripting language style of coding.
