Travis announces project to extend NumPy/SciPy to .Net

Travis Oliphant kicked off today’s SciPy 2010 Day 2 with a great keynote talk. He told the story of his own path to Python, filling his slides with the faces and work of other developers, scientists, and mathematicians inspiration, teachers, and collaborators. He explained how his academic trajectory, from electrical engineering, through a brief affair with neuroscience, to a biomedical engineering PhD, both drove and competed with his work creating NumPy.
Last, but not least, Travis closed his talk with rather large announcement: Enthought has undertaken the extension of NumPy and SciPy to the .NET framework. For details on the project refer to the official release.

We were thrilled to host SciPy 2010 in Austin this year. Everyone seems to be enjoying the cool weather (so what if its borne of thunderstorms?) and the plush conference center/hotel (even if we had to retrain their A/V team).
After two days of immensely informative Tutorials, the General Session began yesterday with speaker Dave Beazley’s awesome keynote on Python concurrency. In addition to the solid line-up of talks at the main conference, we had two very well-attended specialized tracks: Glen Otero, chaired the Bioinformatics track, while Brian Granger and Ken Elkabany coordinated the Parallel Processing & Cloud Computing talks. The day then closed with a conference reception and guacamole-fueled Birds of a Feather sessions.
