title: ‘Gonum: consistent, composable and comprehensible scientifc code’ tags:
Gonum provides tools enabling scientific research through consistent, composable and comprehensible scientific code. Gonum aims to be the equivalent of NumPy/SciPy but for the Go programming language.
Gonum strives to deliver code that run fast (as fast as C/C++ or Fortran) and code that is as easy to write as in Matlab, R or Python. Gonum is still being actively developed but already offers a solid set of packages, providing matrices and linear algebra; statistics functions, probability distributions and sampling routines; finding the extrema of functions; and tools to compute numerical derivatives.
