That'd be a question for the HPC people; ron, do you miss complex types in 9c?
No, but you're not going to like the reason. AFAIK nobody misses it, because there may not be a single HPC app in widespread use that could be run on Plan 9 today. We've been looking. Roman knows more than I do on this issue. But the apps I've found to date need Fortran, Python, C++, and, occasionally C; and, on top of that, need a library or two. Oh, and did I mention, OpenMP, and of course you need an MPI. This one is instructive: http://www.llnl.gov/asc/computing_resources/purple/rfp/benchmarks/limited/umt/umt1.2.readme.bm.html Hence my concerns re Python, but that one is on the way to being solved. We're trying to work this one :-) ron
