Fair question, and agreed we should make this clearer on the site. We like Octave a lot, but the reason we started fresh is architectural: RunMat is a new runtime written in Rust w…

We don’t have a finalized business model yet, right now the focus is getting the open-source runtime solid, useful and very fast. If we add paid stuff later, it’ll be around option…

Yeah, this is a pretty common pattern: use a domain-specific tool where it fits (Octave for the math), and a general language for the product glue (Python). Same idea as infra work…

That's precisely the point(s), the runtime's issues (closed source, cost, etc) are what is helping with the declining popularity of the language when really the language can be han…

Thanks for digging in ;) We just released RunMat in August as an open-source, fast MATLAB runtime. The goal is to make it the fastest way to run math, period. Coming from Octave, y…
