Programming equivalent of the language spoken by the demons of the inner circles of Hell. Often poorly taught by graduate students to undergrads in science and engineering fields of study, usually under the false pretense that it is usefull for something other than bringing about the end of time. Could be a powerful tool of evil if anyone actually understood it.
Once thought to be derived from the English "matrix", meaning an array of numbers, and "laboratory", meaning a place of study. Now known to be a demonic word meaning 'a 3x3 matrix of 6's'.

Bob's eyes were dim and expressionless after completing his Matlab program... a clear sign that his soul had been torn away.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

Horrible programming language which is supposedly easy to learn, though it has caused countless nightmares…
I've been programming for 45 hours this week, which is what I'll be doing next week, too. I still won't get a 'B' in the course.

The stage previous to suicide. Sometimes suicide would be a better option.
It has nothing to do with actual life and there are no badgers involved (as i was previously informed). I'm disappointed.

Matrix Laboratory. It's a programming language developed by The MathWorks intended for scientists and engineers.
Has lots of useful built-in functions and toolboxes for signal processing, data analysis, modelling etc.
Hard to get used to if you're used to C/C++ or Java as it is not object oriented, and the syntax is quite different.

MATLAB ccode example:
H=tf(60*pi, 1 60*pi);
bode(H)
time=1:1024;
h=impulse(H,time/1000);
figure
plot(h)
H=tf(60*pi, 1 60*pi);
bode(H)
time=1:1024;
h=impulse(H,time/1000);
figure
plot(h)
