The latest release is pretty much upon us. Official annoucements will be coming soon and the eagle-eyed among you will have started to notice some things shifting around on the MathWorks website as we ready for this.
The pre-release has been available for a while. Maybe you've played with it? I have...I've even been quietly using it to write some of my latest blog posts...and I have several queued up for publication after MathWorks officially drops the release.
At the time of writing, this page points to the pre-release highlights. Prerelease Release Highlights - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)
What excites you about this release? why?

In my latest R2024a-related blog post, I take a look at two features that I've been waiting for for a long time. Two of my ‘White Whale’ features have been added to MATLAB R2024a » The MATLAB Blog - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

My latest blog post is a deep dive to an improvement to backslash (and, therefore, mldivide) that was made in R2024a How we made a better backslash in MATLAB R2024a » The MATLAB Blog - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)

Here is another hidden gem. Check out how a markdown file is display in R2023b vs. R2024a!

I appericiate you go back and invest in the regular editor.
I don't like the current MLX editor. I wish moving forward you'd just embrace Jupyter.
Generally, I'm mostly looking at the improvements in JIT and Coder. What I look for is a better way to control memory allocations.
Can I dream on MATLAB with the ability to reuse memory allocations in functions, loops and other operations?

You can already do that with handle classes, I would say, although I don't have the full picture of the scenarios you refer to.

Thanks Matt! Honestly....I want this too but users' voices are more importnat than mine ;)
Fed back to development.

You can do some tricks, yet it is not baked into the language and teh culture.
For instance, I'd like to be able to do a matrix multiplication or solving a linear system with a pre allocated memory.
It is very crucial when working on MATLAB -> MATLAB Coder -> Code projects.
