ASDF post #259

Closed vmarkovtsev closed 5 years ago

vmarkovtsev commented 5 years ago

@campoy This is ready for your review. I cannot update staging since Friday night apparently, so here is the plain Markdown.

Really nice post! Maybe I should write the go library as a fun project ...

vmarkovtsev commented 5 years ago

@drdavella @perrygreenfield do you have any suggestions or fixes over the ASDF description part? This post is scheduled for Nov. 26th so there is plenty of time to polish on my side. Link to the current text.

This looks good to me. You might point out that Dan is working part time on a C++ implementation of the library (https://github.com/spacetelescope/asdf-cpp, and someone else started one that Dan has started to see if can be merged somehow: https://github.com/eschnett/asdf-cxx). Also, someone did a Go implementation, but it hasn't been maintained and doesn't appear to work, but it could be a starting point for someone else (https://github.com/astrogo/asdf). There is also an asdf paper that could be referred to but is a bit dated (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213133715000645)

I'll think about it a bit and see if I have any other comments.

It should be mentioned that both C++ libraries are very alpha but should be useable for basic use cases. I'm not sure that the Go implementation ever really got off the ground, but agree with @perrygreenfield that there's maybe enough there to prevent someone else from starting from scratch (cc @campoy).

Thanks so much for doing this!

Thanks for your helpful comments @drdavella @perrygreenfield

Credits were updated, the paper linked, and the links to other implementations inserted.

@campoy This is finished.
