Whoops- I was trying to quote this: “it’s great for automatic parallelization”

I hope this is a factor in bringing array languages to be more widely recognized and used. Good to hear that it garnered a mention by your course instructor.

Anyone can create complicated code, very few can write simple code.

kbob,

It was Blaise Pascal that said “The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter. ”

See: http://books.google.com/books?id=hUMRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA339#v=onepage&q=&f=false

in the penultimate paragraph.

“I’m sorry I wrote such a long letter. I did not have time to write a short one.” — Abraham Lincoln(?)

Seems apt.

[...] I don’t use SciPy (a science/maths programming library), or indeed Python much at all, but I can closely relate to the experience of the author of this post. [...]

You ought to try Mathematica some day. To me, Matlab feels verbose compared to Mathematica. In Mma it’s a lot of thinking about how to join certain list (or tree) transformation operations, then writing those three to ten lines of code that’ll solve your problem.

ARGH, correction again: sorry for the typo when I wrote your name (Damin instead of Damien).

Also, I realize that you said that you tested var() with your own data, which does not necessarily mean that you tested it with complex data.
