RE: Learn to Program! - MATLAB 101
I have not - the only company I worked for before returning to academics to do a doctorate actually paid the insane MATLAB license fee. I have heard Octave is nearly identical though.
The student version of MATLAB is sort of reasonable, $-wise, but yeah, it's almost as costly as Mathematica. Insane is the right word.
Have you read Wolfram's opus?
