Brigitte Helm would have been thrilled with this.

"I tried to parse a string, and I think I killed 20 people!" Can't count the amount of times that's happened to me...

Dr. (Cleve) Moler himself (inventor of Matlab) has now chimed in!

"Yes, the film nails my persona at the end when it reveals that underneath my cold exterior I am really a sympathetic, caring person willing to consider change. But change comes slowly. So far, I've never used Python."

it's awesome that the "Guido van Rossum" character even looks a bit like van Rossum ;)

[vagnerdotnet]

Wonderful...

"Look... n00b, pull it together. Just vectorize it!" Hahaha.

Fantastic. I feel just like Professor Moler. Although I only have 10 years of legacy code. I'll have to put the grad students to work on converting it.

@phoxhat Just don't have them try to parse any strings...

[wootcrisp]

So true.
