Programmer writes Matlab cellfun call from memory after two decades

Original: After almost two decades working with # Matlab I finally managed, for the first time, to write a cellfun call from memor

A researcher with nearly twenty years of Matlab experience says they have finally managed to write a cellfun call entirely from memory, without consulting the documentation. The milestone was shared with a mix of celebration and self-deprecating humour, striking a chord with fellow programmers who know how notoriously hard Matlab's function syntax is to remember.

Why now: Programmers widely relate to the joke that even after decades of use, Matlab's cellfun syntax remains hard to recall without checking the documentation.
