Workshop: Interactive numeric computing with Node.js and JavaScript
Featuring Athan Reines
Traditionally, if you wanted to write fast code for numeric computation, you used Fortran or C. Within the past two decades, you have seen an enormous shift toward languages which favor expressiveness over absolute speed. Much of scientific computing is now performed using dynamic, loosely typed...
