I think that rev is great, but there are certain areas in which its functionality is rather limited. Speaking for myself, I am involved in a lot of scientific computation and I would love to be able to use rev for more than just the user interface. Yes, I could use externals or you could argue that rev is UI/multimedia-centric and not intended for serious scientific computing, but does that have to mean that it could never be? Here's my little wish-list of rev enhancements that would make it more amenable for numeric/scientific computing ... - Arrays of arrays (of arrays, of arrays ...) - The option to create "typed" stacks that could be either natively compiled or extensively bytecode optimized (a la Psyco optimizer for python) - More graphics abstraction - built-in 2D and 3D mapping and transformations and a richer set of built-in graphic objects such as splines, beziers etc. - Easier interfacing to externals (DLLs, COM objects etc. etc.) Here's to the evolution of Revolution!
