I have it on good authority, i.e. from a person writing a book who has the ShedSkin author as a reviewer, that ShedSkin never took off. It is not dead. This same author may pick up and run with ShedSkin over the summer. Of course there is also Pythran. Same author confirms that there is a lot of leaving Java for Python, not to mention IPython now connects to Julia as well as SciPy. Definitely an ideal time for D to have a high profile as a computational language that is easy to program with and connects easily to Python. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
