Hi all,
Here's the main blocker for adding a matrix multiply operator '@' to Python: we need to decide what we think its precedence and associativity should be.
Another data point that might be useful:
Matlab: same-left
R: tight-left
I was going to ask this earlier, but I was worried I was missing something major. Why was "tight-left" not an option? This means that if you don't use parentheses, you get: a @ b @ c -> (a @ b) @ c a * b @ c -> a * (b @ c) a @ b * c -> (a @ b) * c In my (very inexperienced) opinion, it seems like the most intuitive option. Cheers, -Joe
IDL: same-left
GAUSS: same-left (IIUC -- any GAUSS experts please correct me if I misunderstood the fine manual)
Mathematica: instead of having an associativity, a @ b @ c gets converted into mdot([a, b, c])
