Man, these vibe coded sites really are off putting

For my graduation in control engineering I was tasked, among other things, to find a suitable replacement for MATLAB. There were a bunch of models implemented in Matlab that were embedded in a java application that read data from oil pit sensors and ran some identification algorithms to the time series.

I ended up landing on an interop layer for java and python, so I could use scipy, which could load and process all the models implemented in Matlab, and send it back to the supervisory layer in java.

I wonder how it'd be today to embed something like runmat in programs that used to rely on Matlab for computational engine.
