Comments on: The Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.1 http://donsbot.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/the-haskell-platform-2009-2-0-1/ A Journal of Haskell Programming Mon, 03 Oct 2011 02:09:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Britt Anderson http://donsbot.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/the-haskell-platform-2009-2-0-1/#comment-121 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:42:28 +0000 http://donsbot.wordpress.com/?p=267#comment-121 I am curious about plans for the inclusion of a linear algebra package (e.g. HMatrix) and a plotting package (such as Chart or Gnuplot). I am considering using Haskell as the language for a course on computational neuroscience. This is the sort of course that is usually taught using matlab/octave or python/java. However, I think Haskell would be preferable since the code these beginning students would write would look more like the equations they would be reading about (most of them come from a psychology background and don’t know any programming languages – so why not start with Haskell?). If I could tell them to install the Haskell Platform and know it had all the packages they would need, it probably work.

So, I guess this comment is really more of a feature request.

Thanks for all your hard work.
