But I wanted to know what you think.
Great ! Maybe better to integrate them in Sci-talk with the existing Random Number Generator (RNG). We have already 5 RNGs. I'm working on refactoring the RNG and distributions in Sci-Talk, because there is some redundancy until now: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scismalltalk/zXEyeGvTmJk Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
