+FreeMat is a free environment for rapid engineering and scientific prototyping
+and data processing. It is similar to commercial systems such as MATLAB from Mathworks,
+and IDL from Research Systems, but is Open Source. FreeMat includes several
+novel features such as a codeless interface to external C/C++/FORTRAN code,
+parallel/distributed algorithm development (via MPI), and plotting
+and visualization capabilities.
