Nice!
I have noticed that there is a lot of high quality mathematical/numerical software coming out of INRIA; and have often wondered of late why we do not have an equivalent in the US. Do you have any thoughts on why this is the case; and what the closest equivalent in the USA may be?
- andrewbinstock 9y agoThis is largely done by private companies in the US. In the past, ATT Bell Labs and Xerox PARC were shining examples. Today, every major technology company has labs and other internal organizations contributing research to new technologies: Netflix, Google, Microsoft, etc.

- hinkley 9y agoIt's more a matter of what have they done for us lately. We had a number of supercomputing centers in the 90's (at least one has shuttered), and among other things NCSA brought most people their first telnet client and their first web browser via NSF funding that Al Gore pushed for (see also: Al Gore invented the Internet) After that they were working with INRIA on collaboration software fifteen years before WebEx was a thing. They also had large divisions looking at VR and data visualization.
