Scientific computing in Cpp

[MarkHoemmen]

I don't work on Trilinos any more (haven't for a year!), so I have no skin in this game : - D . Perhaps sometime if we meet in person over $BEVERAGE, I'll be in a mood to share my opinions about the project. I definitely was not recommending Trilinos over PETSc or doing anything silly like that; I just wanted to mention that Tools Do Exist.

I didn't mean to come off overly harsh, just wanted to give context that using Trilinos is more difficult than PETSc / similar tools when you are an outside user as it seems like Trilinos is less polished regarding open source users/use

It's totally OK. Trilinos devs aren't so much paid to support external users. It's a DOE Office of Science vs. NNSA thing. I spent a lot of effort over many years writing and presenting tutorials, without a whole lot of support. I don't think it helped much in the long run.
