→Pros and Cons of Using The Chapel
== Pros and Cons of Using The Chapel ==
===Pros===
* GitHub open-source.
* similarly readable/writable as Python.
* the compiler is getting faster and producing faster code. Comparable to OpenMP/MPI.
* there are lots of examples, tutorials and documentation available.
* a global namespace supporting direct access to local or remote variables.
* data parallelism & task parallelism.
* friendly community.
* the package is easy to install, but not as easy as other tools like OpenMP/MPI.
* there’s no central place where other people could look for your work if you wanted to have it as an external package.
* users have no much reason to start trying the language, given better options like C++ & OpenMP/MPI.
