Saddle Breeze libraries for ScalaLab?

[Alexander Kmoch]

Hi all,

Just as an idea, I wondered if the libraries 

Saddle: http://saddle.github.io/doc/index.html

and

Breeze: https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze/wiki

have been considered to be included/accessible/tested with ScalaLab? HDF5 (and netCDF data access would be a good thing for ScalaLab I guess)

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I saw these libraries and I like to share some thoughts.

These packages are very advanced in terms of Scala constructs.

However, for scientific programming,
I think that it is better to be simple in terms of the language,
not much more complex than Java is.

ScalaLab's source can be understood and by a Java programmer,
to understand these packages I think you should be a Scala expert.

I disagree. Simplicity in language leads to complexity in code and clumsiness of API, that can be easily seen in many Java libs that are huge, ugly and unpleasant to deal with.
