    Imagine my surprise to see OpenOrb, the standard open source software package for orbit determination and minor planet propagation, on the front page of HackerNews. Its interesting software with a beautiful theoretical basis in Bayesian statistics, and a gnarly Fortran codebase - I can’t wait to see the discussion!

    Oh.

    It’s one thing to land near a name in use. It is quite another to take it directly!

    Mostly Python and Fortran. See for example https://github.com/oorb/oorb.

    The hardest problems are always the social ones. How do you get uptake of a new method, how do you get funding, how do you politely tell a collaboration they are doing the wrong thing, etc.

    But if you mean pure technical stuff - the hardest problem I had to solve was rethinking some of the inner loops of the THOR algorithm. The problem was essentially to speed up a Hough transform in 6D space. Lots of time spent profiling CPU cache timings to get that fast.
