Hi Jon, > Would anyone be interested in a compiler that translates Mathematica code > into code that runs on Microsoft's .NET? I would love to have that... ...but don't you think that this is quite an ambitious project? As far as I can tell, this would more or less mean to write a mathematica clone (o.k. just the kernel would probably be a good first step...) in one of the .NET languages, or do I miss something? I tink if you just support the common subset of what is supported by mathematica as well as the .NET-family of languages the outcome would probably not be that useful... > This would allow general purpose programs written in Mathematica to execute > much more efficiently. Hm, if you want the code to run faster than within mathematica, it is probably even more ambitious... albert
