In Norwegian there's a saying (as you will know): "Badly reasoned argument, so talk louder". Anyway, I agree with you a long way, but saying there's no place at all for C++ anywhere seems a bit over the top for me. E.g., I believe C++ Elemental made the right choice in C++ (distributed linear algebra, where they use templates just enough to make things readable, but not over-the-top like STL or Boost): http://code.google.com/p/elemental/ Dag _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
