Octave has not implemented all of Matlab's functionality. You can see a list of Matlab functions that have not yet been implemented in Octave at the link below. It's a long list. https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/tip/scripts/he...

You could say that no one wrote that code. But Matlab has serious packages in numerous engineering fields and it’s not anywhere close to easily replicable. It’s like how open source will never replace Excel but probably worse because it’s multiple fields and it’s way harder to replicate it. | ||
