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:

So, does anybody want to go in on a DARPA grant for this?
