I have ported the GOF Ganma patterns from OOP way to Haskell/Concepts way.

QUOTE Concepts (and constraints) are predicates that determine whether a type is a member of a set. You do not need to explicitly declare whether a type is a model of concept (an instance of a type class). That's determined by a set of requirements and checked by the compiler. In fact...

Haskell is very important and influential. Seems it inspired C++ Concepts. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1411318.1411324

No problem. Good luck. BTW IMHO Agents >> objects. I have used them for producer-consumer apps. I find it cool. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/parallel/concrt/asynchronous-agents-library?view=msvc-170

What kind of pure maths did you do?

4) not I'm not terribly impressed with ANNs https://www.datasim.nl/blogs/29/msc-theses-on-machine-learning-and-computational-finance-2020

You're welcome. Just remembered: Excel addins can be done using the code you learned. Might need it sometime :) https://excel-dna.net/

Excel is also a database, meaning you can check the accuracy of your numerics. Console output and matplotlib are less in this regard. Excel is (still) a standard in front office I reckon.

Here is my ADI stuff from a while back (all quants had problems...lots of horror stories because they don't know wave equation) My ADE post was to show how to document.. All I get is a graph.

Hmm, still very incomplete, unfortunately. eg.do you have an A_max?? If this is an academic project as you mention, then I assume you write up the maths first? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

Happy birthday, Andrey. Is there an OAP discount :ninja:

I was the first to have resurrected Fichera and ADE and introduced them in computational finance. ChatGPT is rubbish here: bluffing, misleading and 95% woefully incorrect. Platitudes galore.

Thank you very much, Andy!

A modest proposal. If you someone/anyone have any time ask ChatGPT "What is the Fichera function and how is it used in combination with Alternating Direction Explicit (ADE) methpd, expeciallly for PDE-based option pricing". thx @Paul Lopez @APalley @Andy Nguyen

Not much to go on..

I wrote several books related to that. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119719731

Fortran is the best for HPC (I started with Fortran 66..) It is a niche, however. Before building a C++ portfolio, first learn C++ properly, no half measures. It might come as a shock that C++ has no native Matrix structure.

This book might give some relevant info https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119719731 And C++ is kind of vital. Are you using Fortran?

Computational Materials Science (i.e. physics) What is the focus? mathematical or more experimental? In general, physics is not (necessarily) maths. Not a bad thing. Just saying.

In general, one does not "learn" a language just for a job, but for cultural reasons.

Everybody speaks English. Anglo-Saxons, for example (~ native English speakers) are notoriously woeful at foreign languages. Do you wish to work in France? C++ would be a better language to learn. Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor: "To God I speak Spanish, to women Italian, to men French, and to...

Nah, click "Watch on You Tube"

C++20 versus Rust Good examples Now we agree ... C++ Concepts == Rust traits!!!

Knowing maths is obviously an advantage https://www.datasim.nl/onlinecourses

Depends. I knew C++20 so going to Rust was easyish. I suppose you can learn Rust before C++. I never went down that road.

Why not just learn Rust _and_ C++? Your post is a bit ambiguous, it is not precise. C++ Concepts were based on Haskell TYPECLASSES. But who cares now, it works. I know C++ Concepts and it then took me a day or so to learn Rust traits.. It takes 15 years before a technology becomes accepted.

Maybe they got into the wrong company when they were younger.

Hoare described Rust as targeted at "frustrated C++ developers"

Nope. Correlation is not causation! I spent the last 2 weeks experimenting with Rust code and benchmarking with C++ (BTW I was the 1st C++ programmer in the Netherlands in 1990 and I originated the QN C++ courses). summary: Rust is rather incomplete compared to C++, a kind of carbon copy of...

C# is TIOBE language of the year 2023. It is used, people don't shout about it. Very good language.

It is probably a junior version of Erlang?

Soon Rust will be "just another language". And lots of legacy code. When can we expect pricing libraries in Rust? Or ML?

Random question: why is there a plethora of Actor "frameworks" in Rust?

I am a veteran in this industry and I know that computer scientists love new technologies. Many (technolgies) turn out to be fads. (caveat: I am not CS). In 1991 there were at least 10 object-oriented languages. All the functionality in Rust is in C++20 (and more). Rust and OOP is not there...

No kidding, Shirlock.

Can you back up your claims? Not everyone is doing crypto. BTW I am working on a report/critique "If Rust is the answer, then what is the question?" (w/o handwaving or waffle). Rust is way down the list here #18. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

What do you think yourself? Do you have hard evidence on Rust? Or from hearsay?

Congratulations! General question, @Fangtong How did you find the usefulness of traits and C++20 Concepts in particular? Game changer and highly future-proof imo. Rust has exactly the same features, but lesser. It is lagging. @Devon Kaberna @Paul Lopez @APalley

Welcome on Quantnet, Andrey! It's great to see you here.

Coming up, Sir! A serious point I would like to addess is: "If Rust is the answer, then what is the question?" aka the right tools for the right job!

In Volume II of book. This be Vol I.

Good idea. This week I'm just kicking the tyres (like uchi komi) and then I can go to a small app, e.g. Black Scholes (call C++/C maths function from Rust). yes?? Rust does not have much OOP support .. Our goal is eventually interop.

I spent the last 3 days doing Rust programming for a bit of relaxation (am almost an expert by now :), but being my age means I'm a fast learner). I plan to spend a few more days to suss out more features. It is just a C++20 lookalike; if you know C++20 (and you do) then it is a piece of cake...

Another question: will Rust be the new replacement for C/C++?

I don't know, I am not in academia. But business studies is almost a million miles from maths imo.

yes, I would do a maths degree.

Developers use Rust for general programming, web development, data science and video gaming, as well as for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and blockchain projects. OK, any other applications?

Question: has anyone written an in-depth, "scientific" comparison of Rust and C++ at a level higher than "factional cheerleading" (no offence intended :-)? I found blogs like this. https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/tip/Rust-vs-C-Differences-and-use-cases In particular...

https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabnik/dp/1593278284 Just in case Rust <-> C++ interop becomes the next hot topic.

Rust traits Similar to C++ Concepts https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-6

As an author, I would suggest doing some grammar checks. For example, " We will not." should be "we shall not". It could be structured better. Personally, I hate the widespread use of commas to structure sentences.

We should entertain all scenarios, one of which Rust is and will remain a niche product. It may have vocal cheerleaders. Due diligence and all that. Of course, I still think Rust-C++ interop is important.

Just write Rusty wrappers. I rest my case. QED.

Thus, C code is wrong, the root cause. Clear.

I think pricing libraries will never be (re)written in Rust. No way. C++ is forever here. Just like rewriting Fortran libraries in Java.

8. Rust to C use cases. Clearly a case of legacy (incorrect) code?

So, Rust is a silver bullet? If you are getting segfaults with smart ptrs probably means you are doing something wrong.. At the least, this should be investigated. But the core question remains: what is the root cause of this fiasco?

one more thing.. If Rust is the answer, what is the question, i.e. why all the hullabaloo? Thinking out loud. 1. Better memory mgt than C++. 2. Better language features than C++ (at face value, can't imagine that). 3. Call C++ from Rust(*). 3A. vide versa. 4. Rust's channels look promising...

never say never. Maybe it will take over in 10-20 years.

Why not do both? A big miss in C++ is support for asychronicity, events, signals, Actor model. TBH, saying that Rust is great for memory management is not all that exciting.

A general remark on learning. It is always human to want to cram in as much stuff as possible, but this is not a good idea for at least 4 reasons. Compare to getting a black belt from blue belt level. 1. Blue to brown 2. Practice as a brown for a year 3. Brown to black.
