🎙 About The Episode

In this episode, I speak with Michelle Hirsch from MathWorks about the major changes in the MATLAB's Big Update. We discuss the shift from Java to a JavaScript/HTML-based desktop, enabling a more modern, web-friendly interface.

Key updates include dark mode, browser-based apps, integration with tools like VS Code and Jupyter, and enhanced support for cloud workflows. Michelle explains the motivations behind the redesign, user feedback during beta testing, and how MathWorks is addressing concerns around performance, customization, and open-source integration.

The episode also explores the long-term vision for MATLAB and what a cloud-native future could look like.
