I agree. I believe we should focus on improving the pattern matching in Python first, I would leave the translation to C++ to a distant future. By the way, what about trying to force static typing in sympy's core through the usage of decorators? Or maybe even try to define a standard to write Python code in order to make it easy to translate it to C++ through code generators? I am fascinated by the idea of sympy being written in C/C++, but I am also very skeptical about the time needed for a translation by hand. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
