Haskell will be a perfect fit for these math/physics kind of projects. Writing these programs in a functional language is very close to how the theory in math/physics is explained so that is a nice fit.
- stevejalim 17y agoYeah, Haskell was also something I mentioned -- tho I have a question about how prevalent jobs using Haskell, Erlang, Clojure etc are compared to C++ etc. My orbits don't inlcude maths/physics-heavy development, so I have no idea
- rmaccloy 17y agoAny of the "academic" languages (Haskell, ML, Lispen, etc) are probably more likely to be found in math/physics-heavy development than in general development shops, but C/C++ is probably the standard (for fast-math libraries and realtime work) - you may see old fortran for some numeric stuff, and forth for some embedded work. Java is pretty rare, AFAIK. I think HN is not the best place to ask about "languages to learn to get a job", though.
