Hi Leandro- I would like to see PDL more widely available and used. To that end we've been working to improve the portability of PDL across the major perl platforms: unix/linux/*bsd, macosx, win32 and cygwin. The goal would be 1-click install of PDL on any of those platforms.
If I had to pick one feature that would help new PDL users, it would be adding matplotlib support to PDL. It should be possible to tie it in by calling through python from the perl. Of course improved documentation, tutorial information, start-up guides... help as well. --Chris On 3/6/2011 10:15 AM, Leandro Hermida wrote: > Hi PDL group, > > I recently wrote a blog post about Perl and PDL in the areas of scientific > and financial computing and to start discussion about what I've seen in my > field (scientific computing), that for no reason most people in these fields > don't seem to know (or consider) that the Perl/PDL/CPAN stack is perfectly > suited for such work and a powerful if not better competitor to > Python/NumPy/SciPy/matplotlib stack, MATLAB, Octave, or R. > > If you are interested in reading and commenting and most of all correcting > me please see it here: > http://blogs.perl.org/users/lhermida/2011/03/hi-everyone-as-a-bioinformatician.html > > I think that awareness of PDL needs to be raised significantly among these > communities. > > best, > Leandro _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
