It's main purposes and features are: +- seamless conversions between standard Scala collections and high-performance numeric data structures from [breeze](https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze]) +- generation of matlab code for plotting nice scientific graphs + +Its reason of existence is mainly due to my subjective opinion that Scala is an elegant, expressive language but misses scientific graphing libraries whereas Matlab is a horrible language but features mature and accurate graphing capabilities.
