Why isn't MATLAB considered a real programming language?

It is a real programming language, but it's so specialised for mathematical tasks that it's not considered a general purpose language by many people.

matlab is a proprietary domain language. It is geared toward numeric computation within the matlab environment. The reason it isn't used as a general purpose language is simply because it wasn't designed for that.
