By carlobaldassi:

The basic building blocks I need are all there, so I almost managed to do everything I was previously doing in Matlab (but better in my opinion!) and more, except for the linear programming function (which I've seen is already scheduled for some milestone), and maybe some more optimizations for linear algebra (e.g. I've seen that Matlab optimizes things like `x'*x` without actually computing the transpose). Basically, the only area of improvement I'd need at the moment is in output control (I think a printf-like function is also already scheduled, but controlling things like output precision and stdout/stderr flush would be enough for me) and maybe some plot tool which one could use from within the terminal (I was thinking about making up a quick and dirty gnuplot interface at some point).
Apart from those (which to me are minor issues really), having version 1.0 out with would help a lot in convincing my colleagues to adopt it ;)
