Lua Equivalent for NumPy and SciPy?

Question

I'm thinking of learning lua, i learned that it is a smaller language compared to python and has an efficient JIT compiler implementation in the form LuaJIT.

I would like to know is it possible to use lua the way i use python with Numpy+Scipy. further if Lua has numpy+scipy equivalent does it have a matplotlib equivalent?

Answer 1

有numlua ，但由于它依赖于BLAS / LAPACK，FFTW和HDF5，LuaJIT本身不会给你带来任何性能提升。

Answer 2

还有别的东西，我发现类似于Scay + matplotlib的Lua，我不确定最后一个版本是如何在2011年1月发布的，它是GSL-shell它利用了GSL库并具有绘图功能，它更多像matlab比scipy + matplotlib。

Answer 3

I am authoring the Lunum project, which has no dependencies and can be used as a shared module or embedded in other C applications.

It's in active development, and used in serious physics research. It supports a good subset of the Numpy semantics. Array slicing will be ready in the next release.

Answer 4

I would also have a look at SciLua :

A complete framework for numerical computing based on LuaJIT which combines the ease of use of scripting languages (MATLAB, R, ...) with the high performance of compiled languages (C/C++, Fortran, ...).
