[Bioperl-l] bioperl vs other bio*

[Yifei Huang]

Hi Albert,

I used Bio++, a set of C++ libraries for phylogenetics and population
genetics, in my recent project. I found it's a very useful tool to implement
your own phylogenetic models, because it has a series of classes for
manipulating biological data, calculating tree likelihood, and performing
numerical optimization. I don't find these features in bioperl.
Probably perl is not an efficient language to implement algorithms.
