I started OpenNumLab to build an open-source alternative to MATLAB in Rust with all the functionalities!

The goal is to run all of the MATLAB code people already rely on.

Contribution is welcome, the roadmap is written, whoever has extra tokens and has scientific or coding background can join the project.

Is it starting from the Freemat code base?

No, OpenNumLab didn’t start from the FreeMat codebase. The project started as a Rust app that used GNU Octave as its execution backend. We’ve since built a separate headless Rust engine that runs a subset of MATLAB-style code without requiring Octave or MATLAB.

Excellent

Would you be intrested to collaborate to cover more of the functionality?
