There is a qualitative difference in the workflow and tools people need when their applications support decisions that directly impact life and limb, as you find in high end HPC calculations related to national defense, homeland security, safety, drug design, and so on. Major companies and research organizations build out programs of investment that span decades, and some stability, or at least predictability, in the toolset is required. @Anonymous: I disagree pretty strongly for at least some areas of the HPC ecosystem.

Perhaps if you are over 40. The younger generation feeds on agile development and HPC would be better if it did too. “…At some point the churn in the tools drives away developers…”

Perhaps if you are over 40. The younger generation feeds on agile development and HPC would be better if it did too.
