Researcher Develops Ergonomic Numerical Computing Libraries
A researcher describes how encounters with Matlab’s backslash operator and Scheme influenced their approach to ergonomic numerical interfaces, and presents three experiments: sparse-linear-algebra, sde, and ad-delcont. The post recounts lessons from building a Haskell-based linear-solver abstraction, SDE simulator, and delimited-continuation reverse-mode AD library, notes practical shortcomings in academic software engineering, and argues these ergonomics can improve reproducible computational science.
Scoring Rationale
Solid practical code and ergonomic lessons across Haskell numerical libraries; limited novelty and niche audience reduces broader impact.
