After reading about extending python with C/Fortran in the excellent Python
Scripting for Computational Science book by Hans Langtangen, I'm wondering
whether there's not a more pythonic way of extending python. And frankly I
think there is: OCAML
Fortunately there is already a project up and running allowing you to extend
python with OCAMl: http://pycaml.sourceforge.net/
Since I haven't got actual experience programming CAML I'd like to speculate
that OCAML would be a very pythonic way of extending python: its
open-source, object oriented, as fast as C, and ! garbage collecting!
Would making an effort integrating python & CAML not be very worthwhile?
I think an effort such as Joe Strouts python2c would be more relevant to a
language as CAMl since its conceptually more closer to python (how could you
automate programming memory allocation for instance)
So my question is: wouldn't there be some serious synergy in bringing python
& CAML closer together?
##of course this is speculation, I'm not informed well
##enough to make an educated guess
Interested in hearing your thoughts about this matter!
Cheers, Jelle.
