> I'd like to see simple naive Bayesian classifiers in Ruby .. <snip>
One issue Redfish deals with quite a bit is use of different
languages within projects. We'd like Python to talk to Processing
(Java) and Processing to talk to Blender.
JDK 1.6 took a tiny step: defining a way for Java to talk to other
"scripting" languages. But not the reverse .. how to call Java from
other languages like Python.
So figuring out a good way to manage using different languages
together, synergistically, is pretty important.
Two ways to do this are simple file/pipe interfaces, and more
sophisticated network/port stunts. The problems comes when you want
high interactivity between the different modules: for example agents
programed in Python and visualization in Java. .. i.e. "round-trip"
interactions rather than serial interactions.
So maybe my wish for what we do is to figure out multi-language,
multi-toolkit interoperability. Ruby talking to R, Python talking to
Java, and so on.
