Well in that case I am a bigger sinner than you -- I do write some code, but I've easily started discussions on ten times more suggestions than there's time to implement :-) I think it spawned a very helpful discussion. In the end, everybody wants to be able to "kill off Fortran", but it might be a long road to get there with contributions from many. As you've seen there's probably too many open issues to get something usable by next week. Do you plan to work more on Cython after that? (Answer in private if you wish). I'm happy to mentor you over summer if you have time for something in that direction. As for an isolated Sage days project, I still think (2) in my initial email (some form of efficient ndenumerate loop) would make a very good stepping stone project and is something which would be useful in many places regardless of how things turn out with Blitz++ etc. (At the very least, it would mean more efficient copying to and from contiguous memory, which would be useful everywhere, also in Kurt's GSoC or when using C++ libraries for vectorization). However I don't have time to *really* mentor until Tuesday, which may be a bit late.
