I'd also like to add that not all Piper developers are working on Life sciences. I'm co-author of the Piper processing layer (the Overflow project), which was primarly developped for signal (speech, image) processing, from an electrical engineering point of view. I think Piper is more than a life science thing. Other than that, I agree with the article. Jean-Marc -- Jean-Marc Valin Universite de Sherbrooke - Genie Electrique valj01 at gel.usherb.ca
