I don’t see the justification for the end user to do their programming in C++ versus Python+Numpy or Julia.
Python is already the de facto replacement for Matlab in academia and engineering.
And Julia is up and coming, offering many of the benefits of Python+Numpy but designed with performance in mind.
Why should I bother with compilers and make files and deal locating memory and all the rest of C++?
Because that’s what I’ll have to deal with as soon as I take one step outside of Castor’s (admittedly friendly syntax) and with to do other things in the same language.
