Re: [FRIAM] Programming Languages

At the first conference on Object-oriented Frameworks for Scientific Programming, the room divided more or less down the center. On one side, attendees said “I love overloaded operators in C++ because I can make my code look just like the physics equations.” On the other side, attendees said “I
