GNU Octave: The beginnings

Hello there!

Welcome to my page on GNU Octave.

I am a part-time developer on the GNU Octave project, and I want to share my 2-cents on ideas, directions and future of the GNU Octave project.




GNU Octave is a scientific numerical computing environment, including the
Matlab-like programming language, a rich set of libraries built on powerful open
solvers, is a necessary tool in any engineer's bag.

This blog will primarily address developing GNU Octave itself, and to a lesser
extent, developing with GNU Octave.


In particular, I would like to speak about

1. Whacky ideas on extending GNU Octave
   
2. Architecture of GNU Octave
1. On programming languages
2. Octave interpreter
   
3. A future GNU Octave compiler as a GCC front end
   
3. Features of GNU Octave
1. present,
2. missing,
   
3. wanted,
   
4. can-reimplement
4. Developing fast code on GNU Octave
5. Octave C++ extensions / building external libraries
