Re: numerical Lua?

[Ben <laserbin@...>]

Hi,

 

I downloaded the code but don't know how to use it. Sorry. I could not compile the code successfully under Windows.

 

If numlua can deliver matlab or fortran like matrix manipulation syntax, it definitely rules.

I beg to differ:

http://luaforge.net/projects/numlua

It's not as maintained as I'd wanted it to be, but it's fairly usable.

Definitely.
