2008-05-10 Thread Jason Grout
Currently CDF and RDF matrices wrap GSL matrices and use GSL algorithms for part of the computations. After talking with a few lead developers on IRC, it seems that the consensus is that numpy is generally better and has a much, much stronger community. What do people think of moving the RDF
