It would be great if you could summarize some of the issues concerning
treatment of multiarray in APL/J.  The purpose of this discussion is for all
sides to spell out their favorite.  Imho, issues that are so involved that
could not be explained here are unlikely to be suitable to go into the PEP.

As to why not use matlab alone, I think this has been discussed many times
already: Other than calculator languages, a languages has far more things
than math operators.  I'm sure you can compile a long list of advantages of
python over matlab.
