Actually, I am trying to find out the same thing I know that ADA is used by many Engineers, for building planes and trains, therefore someone probably has already researched of this. It makes sense that the answer is readily available I just didn't want to hunt for it when it is common knowledge in certain places. > some statisticil stuff is available as C, such as the general scientfic >library and ada can bind with them. The problem with C++ is that so many of the mathematical and statistical functions are in what is called the standard template library that to get any speed out of C++ you have to write your programs in unorthodox ways, so I have heard. > wondering whch language/environment you settled on? I am still data mining, but so far I would probably choose Mathematica or Maple for their mathematical and Statistical libraries because after much research they seem to have most of what I want for a fairly reasonable price. Because Pure Mathematics is in less demand in industry than applied Mathematics; I figuired I would get an Ada package that links with Fortran and C++. Ada sounds like a reasonable RAD, rapid application development, language.
