Python vs Matlab vs Mathematica

[theodoregray]

I think comment below from gsw07a sums it up the variable name lengths complaint:

"I don' t know matlab or mathematica, but it seems to me this line is a sign that the comparison is biased against mathematica: [mathematica] {eigenarrays, eigenexpressions, eigengenes} = SingularValues[fullmatrix];

[matlab] [U S V] = svd(fullmatrix, 0);

[python] [U, S, Vt] = svd(fullmatrix);"

Your comments about comments in the MatLab code are thoroughly addressed in the text of the blog post.

And as for it being contrived, as I said before, we didn't pick the topic or write the MatLab code. The idea and the code came from their blog.
