![]() The holy grail is for it to be easy enough for the faculty to use, but that will probably take a dedicated tutorial. It's easy enough to use that just by following some examples, the grad students have been able to do implement studies in a couple days that took weeks in the old framework. The rewritten framework is only ~6k lines of code to replicate the exact same functionality. It was so complicated that that postdoc was essentially the only one who could make changes and add features. ![]() It was ~30k lines of code in 2 files (one header, one source file), with pretty much every bad coding practice you can image. I recently undertook a complete rewrite of our group's analysis software that was written by our previous postdoc. Many advisors don't place much value in having their grad students take such classes, though even a short language-specific introduction class would vastly improve their students' productivity. Most scientists have no formal training in computer science or coding. I am a scientist, and I have seen a lot of terrible code. ![]()
