CANDO: A Compiled Programming Language for Computer-Aided Nanomaterial Design and Optimization

Best talks in my opinion: * [VIDEO] * [LINK] Notable mentions: * [LINK] * [LINK] * [LINK] I liked OpenGL lightning talk as well: * [LINK]

> [VIDEO] no wonder CANDO is impressive, the scope and fields involved are pretty rare... I'm very eager to learn if C. Schafmeister work will bear 'disruptive fruits'. ps: a talk about clasp [LINK]

[VIDEO] Here's the video from last year's ELS. At the beginning of it he actually explains some of the reasoning - i.e. proteins are cool and powerful, but a) too hard to design, and b) too fragile.

My initial thought was that this was about a project building atop of clasp, like CANDO: [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK] But this does seem a bit more like Julia? "Julia: to Lisp or not to Lisp?" [LINK] Then there's also the Axiom system, which I guess is primarily for symbolic computation, but I don't know if it might make sense to use it as a building block for statistical software? [LINK]

I wish there were a nanotechnology startup that would address MRSA. In theory, you can develop nanobots that attack specific types of bacteria. Not sure if this would work: [VIDEO]
