Is There a Difference Between Scientific Computing and Development Workflows?
In scientific computations, it's very important to catch all possible errors upfront. So if you have some kind of a misconfiguration, I really want this to be detected when the build computation starts rather than a few weeks later. The decisions that you make in optimizing for one case are very different from what you make for the other. You start coming across things like how do I represent an incremental map from keys to values? That if I add a key to that map, how do I get the map efficiently? How do I efficiently sort a list incrementally?"
