CVXOPT vs. DataMelt vs. Python vs. pygame Comparison Chart

DataMelt (or "DMelt") is an environment for numeric computation, data analysis, data mining, computational statistics, and data visualization. DataMelt can be used to plot functions and data in 2D and 3D, perform statistical tests, data mining, numeric computations, function minimization, linear algebra, solving systems of linear and differential equations. Linear, non-linear and symbolic regression are also available. Neural networks and various data-manipulation methods are integrated using Java API. Elements of symbolic computations using Octave/Matlab scripting are supported. DataMelt is a computational environment for Java platform. It can be used with different programming languages on different operating systems. Unlike other statistical programs, it is not limited to a single programming language. This software combines the world's most-popular enterprise language, Java, with the most popular scripting language used in data science, such as Jython (Python), Groovy, JRuby.

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame adds functionality on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system. Pygame is free. Released under the LGPL license, you can create open-source, freeware, shareware, and commercial games with it. With dual-core CPUs common, and 8-core CPUs cheaply available on desktop systems, making use of multi-core CPUs allows you to do more in your game. Selected pygame functions release the dreaded python GIL, which is something you can do from C code. Uses optimized C and assembly code for core functions. C code is often 10-20 times faster than python code, and assembly code can easily be 100x or more times faster than python code. Comes with many operating systems. Just an apt-get, emerge, pkg_add, or just install away.
