With the continuous development of technology, it is necessary to analyze the applicability of MATLAB in the field of software development according to the mainstream trend of the market. This article aims to outline the design purpose of MATLAB and its applicable user groups, and emphasizes the advantages of MATLAB in scientific computing and engineering applications. By comparing it with other programming languages such as Python, this article further highlights the unique advantages of MATLAB in computing performance and functions, thereby clarifying its importance and application value in related fields. This article concludes that as a programming language specializing in computing, MATLAB is not only loved by professionals in engineering, finance, physics, and other fields but also has a high status in education. Through the experiment of developing small games and comparing the rich functions of Python in software development, it points out the immaturity of MATLAB in UI design, code optimization, data transmission, and other aspects. The subsequent research provides some improvements that MATLAB can make in code performance optimization and loop performance. The significance of this study is to let people who are new to software development choose a more suitable programming language.
