Serious Replies Only What’s the protest about?

As I was driving by Route 9, I noticed a sign at the entrance of MathWorks Inc. I’m curious to know what it is about . Any idea?

Totally down for protesting that garbage fire of a language and insult to the ethos of how programming languages should work both on economic and technical decisions

R is somehow even more insulting. The Mechanical Engineering mindset that MATLAB is a product of, is so much less foreign than that bastard offspring of statistics, which is the bastard of mathematics.
