I haven't had too much experience in the computer programming world, but with my few forays (including the LaTeX lab), I've really grown to appreciate organization, simplicity, and efficiency. When using R in the past and running T tests and other Stats tests across large matrices of data (such as histone methylation across the blood samples of 80 people), I'd often end up with up to a couple minutes of downtime waiting for the program to run. With that in mind, it's really interesting to see how MATLAB can create a complicated-looking graphic from such a simple program. Of course, this is very different from churning through large amounts of data, but it's impressive nonetheless.
