We only get 1one or 2two queries about MatlabMATLAB interfacing with our product per year, but we get many times that amount of questions on interfacing Python with our product. Many Blue-chip
Many bluechip and non B.C companies already have Python in heavy use. If I were you, I would concentrate on becoming knowledgeable with Python, not just for Optimizationoptimization purposes, but it's very useful in other areas of computing too.
