Python is normally easier to write code than C++, but I think there is a main exception, i.e. cases of complex class-structure. In C++ there is the possibility of using IDEs with autocompletion enabled, which can any time tell you which type a variable is, a great advantage of statically typed languages. I tried for some time PyDev plugin in Eclipse, but it is not comparable to C++ development, static methods are correctly guessed, but in the case of class instances it is very poor.
By the way, I feel that complex class-objects should be in any case rewritten to C++, for this very reason. Regarding the Rubi ruleset, I think that a pattern matching improvement and rewriting in C++ would be needed, but one has also to improve the assumptions module in order to be able to perform the same checks as in Mathematica, besides the checks are to be inserted inside the pattern matching algorithm. It would be very nice to find an equivalent ruleset as Rubi for differential equations, if there are any. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
