And then...? I hoped a bit for the dream solution of "actually, dear
professors, it works - if slow - for the scope of this thesis, and
further speed improvements can be achieved by replacing more parts
with C/C++ code". ;)

Yeah, I heard good things about Boost, and also that wrapping one's mind
around C++ templating is a requirement these days. Of which, the latter
scares me (and I seem to know my limits quite well)...

My thoughts exactly. The catch is my supervisor codes in C++ all his
life, while not having any idea about script languages, so he doesn't
really seem to easily buy mine 'I'll code both faster and be way more
happy with Ruby/OCaml, and the finished libraries will be more-or-less
universal anyway.'

The catch with going OCaml (where did today go? all these
easily-googlable tutorials and opinions were so nice to read...)
is that I'll have to learn yet another language (and, more importantly,
design paradigm).
What I forgot to mention, my supervisor suggests I could re-use a lot of
his C++ base classes; I wonder how well (objective) C++ integrates with
Ruby/OCaml (if at all).

I'll give it an afternoon or two, thanks a lot for the suggestion! The
catch is that my supervisor's brain would also have to mold accordingly,
and that might be the tricky part for a C++-only person ('functional
programming? in 2007?! can't you just code in C++ like all the normal
people?').

Definitely. Part of the problem is that I'm not yet
sure what domains will the final alogrithm cover... :)

It's about (a) coming up with an algorithm (so far it seems it'll
be mostly based on blanket algebra, so set-based operations) and
(b) implementing the algorithm in any way I see fit (although one
that's graspable and reusable by others is expected, so I'm a bit
affraid with going OCaml here; still, any non-C++ solution will be
a slap to the face, I guess).

I first parsed this as 'Viagra toolkit', and thought, won't that just
make things harder? -- Ara.T.Howard and James Britt, ruby-talk
