Vasant,
My preference is C, because of its portability. The hardware and operating systems change so fast that we have to use the most flexible development environment. Vince Vasant Shanbhogue 04/26/2000 10:03 AM To: Stinson Gibner/HOU/ECT@ECT, Grant Masson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Zimin Lu/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: London Research Development platform I have spoken with Bryan Seyfried and Ben Parsons on the issue of model development platform, esp for Credit Trading group. People besides Ben will be modeling in Bryan's group, and C is not a language they know. One of them is coding in MATLAB, and the IT group is doing Visual Basic. IT prefers not to support MATLAB, and would also prefer not to support C, because this would make their life easier. Bryan and Ben need to make a decision as to what is the common platform of choice that is best for them, taking IT in mind. Ben has said that if the choice is C, he can enforce everybody learn C, and can look into getting some function libraries (if needed). Similarly, if the choice is VB, he can enforce common use of VB. We need to of course ensure that other members of Research can crosscheck the code. What are your thoughts on C, VB, or MATLAB? Vasant
