Why use MATLAB to create diffraction gratings and not any other prgramming language such as C++ or Java?

Using Zernike Polynomials to create diffraction gratings for use with Adaptive Optics Technology. I wanted to know why it is best to use MATLAB and not any other programming language. What makes MATLAB so useful in doing such things.

It doesn't really matter which language you use however MATLAB is well suited to writing small applications to do scientific computing.

If you are going to be taking eigenvalues, or taking a Fourier transform these things are already built into MATLAB and run fast. In C, C++, and Java you have to search around for libraries and figure out how to use them.
