I wouldn't wish IDL on my worst enemies. At my previous job, I had to use IDL
as it is the indoctrinated language of all optics engineers and physicists.
Perhaps I have forgotten some of the niceties of IDL in the last 3 years, but
it must not have been a very large list as they were easy to forget. Sometimes
I profane the mex interface, but you should try interfacing a piece of hardware
with IDL. Not a pleasant experience. If I had my druthers, I would implement
all extensions to Octave/Matlab with the Octave C++ OCT API (despite its
gradual changes).
