  • 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."

  • Fantastisch!

  • 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...

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

  • Wonderful...

  • 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.

  • So true.
