It seems the real technical issues are surfacing as the posts flow in. There are two. Primary being that burden/control is in one company's hands and the other being lack of (thick) wrappers for C libraries. That other issue is common among less popular languages. First one is concerning, not much because of potential malevolence of Ada core, but more that they seem to do a lot of work and that can present itself as a bottleneck.
On a sidenote, you're an astrophysicist? How awesome is that?! I'm in TV and Film, and I wanted to meet/know one who I can pester here and there with questions/collab for an SF script development I had in mind which I would like to present in 'accurate' way.
- ziotom78 10y agoAgreed. At the end I turned to Python + Fortran (via the awesome f2py) for almost everything, although using two languages is far from ideal. It confuses students which hardly know just one of them, plus there is the cognitive burden of using two different sets of conventions (e.g., zero-based vs one-based array indices) and models of computation. I don't know how much help I could give you regarding your script, but I would be happy to help. Feel free to contact me, my email is maurizio dot tomasi at outlook dot com.
