The Bayesian Conspiracy

The Bayesian Conspiracy is a multinational, interdisciplinary, and shadowy group of scientists. It is rumored that at the upper levels of the Bayesian Conspiracy exist nine silent figures known only as the Bayes Council.

Groovy compared to Perl

March 9, 2009 | comments |

If you are a bioinformatics person considering taking up Groovy as an alternative to Perl, you will naturally wonder how the two compare on a range of simple tasks. Luckily, there is a great set of examples over at PLEAC (Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook). Most bioinformatics Perl programmers have probably seen the Perl Cookbook by Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington. The aim of PLEAC is to implement all of the solutions found in the Perl Cookbook in other languages. The Groovy examples are 100% complete, so you can see how every Perl cookbook solution could be performed in Groovy. Go have a look!

I'm a Ph.D. student in bioinformatics, studying genomics, machine learning, and statistics. I spent the previous ten years developing genomics analysis tools for a major sequencing center.

You might see some bits here on programming, machine learning, bioinformatics,
computational biology, and maybe some other stuff too.
