- redbluered 5mo agoShould be modernized to Python or similar. In 2026, I don't want to do numerical programming in C. That was fine 30 years ago, but today, I expect to have garbage collection or to be able to multiply a matrix as A×B.
- queuebert 5mo agoIf that's what you want, use Matlab. High-performance scientific computing is still using C, C++ +/- CUDA, or Fortran, with Rust a growing segment.
- deterministic 5mo agoDifferent strokes for different fokes. In 2026 I don't want to use a slow interpreted non-typed language like Python. C++ (for example) has excellent super fast matrix libraries where you can do AxB.
