Thanks for digging in ;) We just released RunMat in August as an open-source, fast MATLAB runtime. The goal is to make it the fastest way to run math, period.
Last month, we put out 250+ built-in functions and Accelerate, which fuses operations and routes between CPU/GPU without any extra code/memory management, i.e. no GPUarray.
We're still flushing out the plotting function, but we'll have updates to share around that and a browser version very soon.
Coming from Octave, you'll notice significant speedup advantages, you can see some of our benchmarks with it here https://runmat.org/blog/introducing-runmat
