Hi :)

(my english isn't very good...)

I'll build a basic beowulf cluster for numerical "research" (i hope),
what do you think about using python and lush for programming on the
cluster?

Anybody has comments about lush?

Better way (language... than C/Fortran) for programming (numerical
apps) on the cluster?

Thanks in advance.

PD: If you don't know  about lush:

Lush is an object-oriented programming language designed for
researchers, experimenters, and engineers interested in large-scale
numerical and graphic applications.
Lush's main features includes:
    * A very clean, simple, and easy to learn Lisp-like syntax.
    * A compiler that produces very efficient C code and relies 
       on the C compiler to produce efficient native code 
      (no inefficient bytecode or virtual machine)
.     ....
