GNU Octave 11 has been officially announced today for this open-source, free, and cross-platform high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations.
Highlights of GNU Octave 11 include a new search command for packages, an updated Java internal interface to be more memory-efficient, a completely revamped randi function, support for the roots function to accept only double or single input types, and a more accurate fzero function (1-2 eps when TolX is eps).
This release also introduces an _Exit function makes it possible to use a fork/_Exit sequence to perform work in parallel child processes for potential performance gains, and an updated sum function that fully supports increased precision through the “extra” optional argument, which is also available for sparse arrays.

FYI Octave is compatible with many Matlab scripts.
The more you know 🌠
And you lost me
Why? It’s an optional feature, if you don’t need your Octave programs to interact with Java you can disable Java support at build time. Loses some of the MATLAB compatibility (since MATLAB has this feature too) but you’re not required to use it.
And if you read two more words instead of instantly ragequitting like a little bitch, you would've realised that it's an EXTRA interface you CAN use, not that it's Java based. Literally just a compatibility layer that allows Octave to interop with Java...
Oh look, I can use UPPERCASE CHARACTERS and end my message passive aggressively like a LITTLE BITCH too…
