It seems that octave has been overtaken (in mindshare) by python/numpy. Why is that the case?

#15If you think GNU Octave has made a difference in your life or other's, please take a moment to continue funding his efforts. http://jweaton.org/?page_id=48
you can also donate via the Free software foundation, I'm not sure what the author prefers, but the FSF donation can most likely be matched 100% if your company participates in a matching program. Hopefully, adding a "for 'GNU Octave' project" note should be enough.

Using the regular donation page with a note will just complicate the lives of the FSF staff.

#19For those of us not in the know, GNU Octave is, according to Wikipedia, "software featuring a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical computations."
More specifically, it's designed to support as much as possible of MATLAB's syntax to provide an open-source alternative to MATLAB.
Sadly.

#20This is not a scalable model of software funding. People may send you money today, because its on their minds, but bills will have to be paid again next month, and next year. Please get yourself, a Patreon account, or something similar.
