Hi,
I think there will be some here who would be interested in reading Xavier Calbet's benchmark comparison of PDL, IDL, MATLAB, Octave, C and FORTRAN77 generating fractals.

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Fractals - PDL versus the rest

    Yup. If you believe his numbers you don't have to feel *too* bad about using perl(DL) for math. Otherwise there's Inline::Octave. Sorta seems like he maybe should have tossed in R/S too? Or is that more a Stata comparison, and outside the realm of Matlab?
