Managing Parallel Development in Two Languages? 108
Abhaga asks: "I work for a technology startup and our research work is mostly done in Matlab. The technology has matured, and now we are looking to build prototypes and products in C++. However, the dilemma is about the further research work/enhancements to the system. Should they be done in Matlab and continuously ported to C++, or is it better to move to C++ once and for all, at this point of time? Anyone having experience with similar things, what should we keep in mind while deciding on one or other."
