Dear all, I have submitted a gsoc project called SciSmalltalk. This is a new Smalltalk project, similar to existing scientific libraries like NumPy, SciPy for Python or SciRuby for Ruby. SciSmalltalk already provide basic functionalities under MIT licence: complex and quaternions extensions, random number generator, fuzzy algorithms, LAPACK linear algebra package, Didier Besset's numerical methods, ... We want to extend SciSmalltalk to solve ODE (Ordinary Differential Equations). I you are a gsoc mentors, I would like to encourage you to give your vote to this project ! I believe this really important if we want to offer new alternatives for people who want to made science, mathematics, statistics and big data with Smalltalk ! The student for this project is very capable, because she is a mathematician student. We definitively need to support girls involvement in Smalltalk development and computer science ! Thank you. Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

Thank you. Regards,
Done. Best wishes Edgar
From my experience as python coder, numpy is probably the most popular python library.
Even if you are not mathematician the ability to accelerate code without porting your code to C is hard to resist. I could even see this project becoming part of the standard Pharo distribution as Nativeboost has. Extremely useful stuff, I am no mentor but I will definitely keep a close eye on this one. Women can be extremely good coders ( I had some relevant experience) so I am sure she will do fine and we certainly need to make them feel welcomed and as equals. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-dev-Vote-for-GSOC-project-SciSmalltalk-tp4689557...
