After five years of guiding generics for the Microsoft® .NET Framework into Visual Studio® 2005, I've turned my attention to attempting to achieve a synthesis between type-safe, scalable, math-oriented scripting and programming for .NET. I believe the industry needs to do more for scientists and mathematicians, where the demand for this kind of language is great. Scientists love their scripting languages, which they use to drive tools such as MatLab and Mathematica to great effect, but they also need languages that scale with high performance. Math-oriented programming is also big business, from the modern trading floors that depend on trained mathematicians modeling financial products to the Xbox® games with their machine learning AI algorithms. At the moment, the gap between scientific scripts and applications seems too large. | ||
