This is OT, but most of the scientists around here (at my university) have all switched away from Fortran and C++ to Python. They use fast numeric libraries like scipy, numpy, matlibplot, and other tools. In fact a few have replaced MatLab with Python with great success. Python may be more appropriate for your use than Vala, in this specific case, if you feel inclined. I personally see Vala as a tool to develop and enhance GTK and other Gnome-based libraries mainly. In fact I could see future versions of GTK being written mostly in Vala. I know that several folks on this list are using Vala as a main language, though. I wonder how easy it would be to write python extension modules using Vala. _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
