Hey everyone - Good news: Apparently DARPA is funding development work in Big Data: http://www.darpa.mil/NewsEvents/Releases/2012/03/29.aspx. Of particular interest is the statement, "XDATA aims to address the need for scalable algorithms for processing and visualization of imperfect and incomplete data." Given PDL's built-in support for bad data values, I think we could easily win some credibility here.
Bad news: this group has already won $3M dollars to develop the "next generation" of NumPy: http://m.itworld.com/big-data/340570/python-gets-big-data-boost-darpa So, does anybody want to go in on a DARPA grant for this?

Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." -- Brian Kernighan
