That's just what I feel when I have to write ml-compatible Octave
code. Then I wish to leave the compatibility-task to a converting tool
(even if it should not be able to produce well-readable code). But (I
know it's a bit unrelated to your discussion), the biggest advantages
of Octave-specific syntax IMO are: 1. indexing possible where ml says
'indexing of temporary variable not possible', 2. assignments have a
value, 3. C-like operators like += . All these are not handled by
oct2mat, so oct2mat does not help so very much in the current state;
and I'd guess adding the handling of these points would be difficult
and would need a great effort.
Just my 2 cents. Olaf
