Unfortunately this is not as novel as the press release would have you believe. More a reinvention of a wheel in a pet language. The DOE labs in general are quite famous for this sort of thing, NREL being one of the worst recent offenders along with PNNL. It would be interesting to know how many millions of taxpayer dollars are sitting in the code graveyard that is the NREL github page.
- dreamcompiler 5y agoIt would also be interesting to see how many millions of taxpayer dollars the DOE labs have funneled to Mathworks, and whether Mathworks could survive should DOE decide to investigate cheaper solutions.
