What are people's opinions about the value of NumPy and SciPy on the CLR? As someone who uses Numpy/Scipy almost exclusively on Linux workstations or on clusters (in coordination with lots of C code), I wouldn't value NumPy and SciPy on the CLR at all. I am kind of curious, though, to see

What are people's opinions about the value of NumPy and SciPy on the CLR? If anything, wouldn't the big win (if it's a win at all) be to get NumPy/SciPy working on top of the JVM (as T. Hochber tried)? This way it's pretty much universally portable. I know Jython isn't as up to speed as
