"Nevertheless, due to efficient memory management (pooling) and referencing for internal arrays, the performance of ILNumerics.Net algorithms is in the same range as of interpreted languages." Shouldn't this be 'compiled languages', otherwise the sentence makes no sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.145.29.245 (talk) 14:45, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because

It describes the technology ILNumerics rather than a commercial product.
ILNumerics has always been a community project. It is still available under open source license (GPLv3) free of charge.
ILNumerics is the first project which enables feasible technical computing directly on a managed platform. It won an innovation award for this, awarded by several major newspapers in DE/AU/CH in 2007. The fact that this technology is also offered with a properitary license does not qualify for deletion.
The article can/should/will be easily improved by: focus on the technology rather than on the list of features offered; adding references to similar projects (there is nothing similar for .NET, but for other platforms, namely Matlab, Octave, NMSL, NAG etc.), — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.120.63.187 (talk) 06:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Popularity

@Qwertyus: Why were these references deleted? None of them is affiliated or otherwise manipulated. The references were added to show the download numbers and that there is an active user community. There is no way of "self-generating" traffic on stackoverflow/ msdn/ nuget? Please clarify.

"The project quickly gained popularity^[1]^[2]^[3]."

Alternatives

@Qwertyus: Your [edit] is not clear to me? IMO adding popular alternatives to the article would give an even more neutral and objective view on the topic? Which "reliably sourced by third-party comparisons" informations would be needed? In order to proof... exactly what? That those projects exist? Or that they are alternatives to ILNumerics?
