I'm not a MatLab expert but from what I've been told the code
it generates is pretty good, I'm just surprised that for the scientific
stuff there aren't code generators for this
I'm sure thats the way multimedia will go, My brother owns a video
production place and all their DVE is virtually in real time now (down
from a frame a minute not that many years ago)
The other NW story I like was when asked how you pronounced his name
the germanic "vurth" or anglicised "worth" he replied "it depends if you
are calling me by reference or value"

Or fortran. The annoying thing is that Delphi didn't slip behind C so much
as to be worth considering for things like matrix and mesh manipulation.
Benchmark for same in managed codes are hair-raising. Matlab is fine
for prototyping. Have it on my desktop, fast way to figure things out. Then
you implement it in compiled code. That said though, Matlab are getting
there with MPI implementation.
The point is that only a small fraction of computing is scientific
therefore the target for most dev products is commercial
Sadly yes, though multimedia and gaming are also managed-code unfriendly
by all accounts though don't think gaming on compute-clusters is going to
take off :-)
As an aside Nicklaus Wurth had to put his profession down as 'Physicist'
as the wouldn't accept 'Computer Programmer' when he got married
How it has changed
Indeed.
