I would classify this as a matlab alternative. Plot stuff. Do Matrix calculations with direct (syntax) support in the programming language.

Its good for legacy MATLAB projects. Use Python for new projects.
Personally, I’d rather use Python with matplotlib when I need to plot stuff, but Octave is great if you have to deal with Matlab code!
Used it for a ML MOOC a long time ago. Switched to Python/Numpy for better general programming features. Numpy has pretty good syntax for matrix computation, IMO.
Matlab is also awful about licensing. I took a Matlab class in college and we used gnu octave instead of the real thing. Works just as good, it’s just slightly different syntax.
Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. Mostly due to the decline in Matlab.
yeah; python and numpy won the wars I guess.
