I'll look up H2O. Not for my own purposes - as I said, I've gone all in on Python, and still C++ is my natural environment, even Python I find has some friction. But, from you description, it looks like a natural competitor to a product I'm working on called Ravel. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders hpco...@hpcoders.com.au http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -. --- - / ...- .- .-.. .. -.. / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .
