Folks,

I just watched Beau Legeer's new screencast on what is new with IDL 8.4.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_umxrSAEWis

All I can say is, "Wow!" I had no idea so many people were clamoring for
Big Integers (you know, 2^400, printed on your display), and I plan to
use the Prime and NextPrime static functions almost daily.

It sure would be fun to be a fly on the wall in the meeting in which
customer requests were prioritized for the next version of IDL. I have a
feeling I would be absolutely shocked at how out of touch I am with the
tools programmers need to do their jobs.

Cheers,

David
