enough babble Jon. Come flying $5 to my paypal account, and i'll give you real code, amongest the programing tech geekers here for all to see. I'll show, what kinda garbage you cooked up in your Mathematica code for “comparison”. You can actually just post your “comparisons” to “comp.soft- sys.math.mathematica”, and you'll be ridiculed to death for any reasonable judgement of claim on fairness. > Consequently, there is great value in combining Mathematica with performant > high-level languages like OCaml and F#.

LOL. > What exactly do you believe is wrong with my code? come flies $5 to my paypal, and i'll explain further. > I am not trying to make Mathematica look bad. It is simply not suitable when > hierarchical solutions are preferable... Certainly there are areas other langs are more suitable and better than Mathematica (for example: assembly langs). But not in the ways you painted it to peddle your F# and OCaml books. You see Jon, you are this defensive, trollish guy, who takes every opportunity to slight other langs that's not one of your F#, OCml that you make a living of. In every opportunity, you injest your gribes about static typing and other things, and thru ensuring chaos paves the way for you to post urls to your website. With your math and functional programing expertise and Doctor label, it can be quite intimidating to many geekers. But when you bump into me, i don't think you have a chance. As a scientist, i think perhaps you should check your newsgroup demeanor a bit? I mean, you already have a reputation of being biased. Too much bias and peddling can be detrimental to your career, y'known? to be sure, i still respect your expertise and in general think that a significant percentage of tech geeker's posts in debate with you are moronic, especially the Common Moron Lispers, and undoubtably the Java and imperative lang slaving morons who can't grope the simplest mathematical concepts. Throwing your Mathematica bad mouthing at me would be a mistake. Come, fly $5 to my paypal account. Let the challenge begin.
