IIUC that work was done on a fork of numpy which has since been abandoned by its authors, so... yeah, numpy itself doesn't have much to offer in this area right now. It could in principle with a bunch of refactoring (ideally not on a fork, since we saw how well that went), but I don't think most happy current numpy users are wishing they could switch to writing Lisp on the JVM or vice-versa, so I don't think it's surprising that no-one's jumped up to do this work. -n _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
