Speaking on the subject, Numerical Recipes, considered by some as the 
*reference* for this subject, has releases the 3rd edition of this famous 
work. A huge and large book.

And it is that is written in nothing else but C++ !

>From http://www.nr.com/aboutNR3book.html it says:
"Its code is wholeheartedly object oriented, demonstrating diverse 
techniques for using the full power of C++."

I bet the next version will be Numerical Recipes in Java.

Then after that a Numerical Recipes in C#?

I am waiting for Numerical Recipes in Visual Basic to come out, and may be 
also a version in JavaScript, and why not Numerical Recipes in Perl? :)

I guess the authors found that Fortran is no longer 'popular' enough, and 
C++ is the more sexy language now for selling more copies of the book.

I think a version in Ada will be great, but of course we know that Ada is 
not sexy or popular enough, so I am sure this will never happen.
