Dear All,
I got in touch with the Open Source community due to my interest (for job-reasons) in scientific computing.
I am currently using Debian Linux since it provides me with tons of programs/languages for science. I would like, as soon as I have some time, to give Haiku a try. I understood it is not Linux and that it is aimed at simplicity and I find the idea intriguing.
For my job, I daily use the following tools
(1) R http://www.r-project.org/
(2) SciPy/Numpy http://www.scipy.org/
(3)Matplotlib (pylab) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
(4) emacs
(5) Fortran 90/95
(6) ESPResso, a package for molecular dynamics relying on C and TCL.
(7) visual Python http://www.vpython.org/
Are they available for Haiku? Has anyone reported positive experiences about Haiku in a research environment (geared towards physical sciences/statistics)?
I understand that my needs are rather specialist and they are not the first thing one has in mind when designing an operating system, but they are essential to me in estimating whether I should consider Haiku for my job.
Many thanks
A port of R would indeed be much apreciated. I am very interested in trying out haiku and R would be iceing on the cake.
@Larry it sounds as if you are quite competent at using R while I am a beginner studying it at a community collge you might be interested in http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/ which aims to make PSPP to SPSS as R is to S. I wonder if R would compile straight off… since it is mainly a command line program(for me anyway ).
I made a native port of XEmacs to BeOS.
It’s not finished though, and won’t run on Haiku due to some change in the vm (reverse split), but if I get it to dump from Haiku it should work. I didn’t try recently but it should be possible now with the recent vm fixes.
has any progress been made here? well i will be building a haiku box to test on and i know just a little c++. I doubt i know enough to port much of anything yet though…
Science has to growth day by day and fuel compensation increasing by day day and here Essay thinker for science students. Thanks for sharing this great ideas.
Both looking extraordinary and they examine about great thoughts. We compose all substance here with understudies concerns home. Training lifestyle and method for achievement and approach to get great substance.
