Well, I was reacting to the "currently there is no planned work to port external toolboxes by ESI" because some of the actual *decent* internal computational stuff in Scilab (e.g. UMFpack) was initially developped as an external toolbox (by B. Pincon). As far as optimization stuff is concerned,

While it is not internal (and not necessarily decent at this point ^^), I am developing a toolbox for optimization [1] in Scilab. Its aim is firstly to provide a convenient way to formulate optimization problems. It is currently very limited (mainly dense linear optimization problems [2] + some q

Hi all! is there a plan to adapt the toolbox soon? https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/ampl_toolbox I teach classes in the summer term beginning on may the first. I will be using this toolbox. If it is not ported, I will have to stick to 5.5.X with its infamous "stacksize"... Thx, JPD
