Re: [Numpy-discussion] Meta: too many numerical libraries doing the same thing?

In a sentence: the most important reason for using a C++ object oriented multi-dimensional array package would be easy of use, not speed.

It's nice to hear Blitz++ was considered, it was proably rejected for good reason, but it just looked very promising to me.

I believe that Eric's "compiler" module included in SciPy uses Blitz++ to optimize Numeric expressions. You have others who also share your admiration of Blitz++ -Travis
