Cleve Moler, #mathematician, cofounder of #MathWorks, and creator of #MATLAB, has died at 86. And I fully agree: Say what you will about MATLAB, but its impact on #ScientificComputing is undeniable. As a student, I felt almost rebellious when I started coding in MATLAB instead of #Fortran 🤘

People like to dunk on MATLAB now, but it’s hard to overstate how large an advance it was at the time and the impact it has had on scientific computing. RIP Cleve Moler www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/s...
