| [science-iwg] FW: January - New Eclipse Project Proposal |
|
Hello, Please find below a message from Jonah and Peter about a new open source project being planned taken from the
dawn source code called January. I think this is an exciting development which will add a hugely useful idea; that of a
numpy-like nD-array, to the Java community. They are entering into the process of IP checking and have already reduced January to have minimal dependencies. Specifically from their project page: All of the dependencies of the initial contribution are libraries that are already part of Eclipse ecosystem in Orbit: org.apache.commons.math3 org.apache.commons.lang org.slf4j.api org.junit This means that for the first time commercial companies and research organizations will have a common way to do mathematics like this in Java. It will eventually lead to disparate codes becoming interchangeable and/or interoperable,
with the proviso that they choose to adopt a nD-array-like format for their data. We have all seen how powerful this idea has been for the python community and although there is more work to do, it is a great start offering some really useful/powerful features. Well done guys! And thanks! :) Matt Gerring -----Original Message----- Dear all, Peter and I are pleased to announce that the January project proposal (https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/january) has now gone live. We are now soliciting community feedback so that we can progress the proposal to the creation review. We have written a short blog post (http://kichwacoders.com/2016/01/26/introducing-project-january/) with some background on naming
too. Best Regards, Jonah ~~~ Jonah Graham Kichwa Coders Ltd. _______________________________________________ science-iwg mailing list To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit
