Re: [netcdfgroup] what is status of netCDF3 vs netCDF4?

Quick comment on this:

a previous post seemed to imply that Python was supported. I think the C
> and Fortran libraries should be top priority,


the netCDF4 python package is a wrapper around the C lib.

So it is as robust as the C lib, but also just as hard to compile!

I agree that C and Fortran are key (actually primarily C -- you should be
abel to call C from Fortran anyway) And C gets you the ability to wrap for
a whole pile of higher-level languages (Julia, Octave, R, etc....)

That leaves us with the Java world -- which does not map so easily to C

What about .net, by the way? I don't care, but maybe some folks do ;-) I
have no idea how hard it is to call C from .net languages...
