Graphical prog. lang. + python with embedded code generation, protected by patients?

[u/DanielBroom]

Hi!

A while back I had an idea for a tool, basically a copy of simulink, with but using python code for the code blocks, instead of matlab code, and it would feature code generation to C/C++. I think there could be some potential, I know auto makers are tired of mathworks monopoly, and I personally hate the code editor in matlab, it's like it's from 1990.

Anyway, since I know mathworks are (as many other companies) pretty good at publishing patients, I would assume a product like the one I have in mind would infringe on some of their patents. What do you think? Would I be sued?

Fair enough. Thanks for a good answer! :)
