Mata is a programming language that looks a lot like Java and C, but adds direct support for matrix programming. Mata is a compiled language, which makes it fast. You can use Mata interactively when you want to quickly perform matrix calculations, or you can use Mata when you need to write complex programs. Mata has the structures, pointers, and classes that you expect in your programming language. In fact, Mata is Stata's development language. Most new features of Stata are written in Mata. This includes multilevel modeling, latent class analysis, Bayesian estimation, and even the core algorithms of the graphical SEM Builder. But Mata is not just for Stata developers; you too can take advantage of this powerful programming language.

That is actually what a search for "matrix programming" returns, because, thank goodness, the nerds still outnumber the lunatics.
