The Status of ROOT in BABAR
When I proposed to use ROOT some 2 years ago, I was told
by the computing management (excerpts from e-mail):
“ROOT isn't a well developed/maintained package yet ... Blabla ...
In fact I'd like to discourage using ROOT ... Blabla ...
I hate to be one who keeps suppressing new ideas but we really have -got- to keep focused on our immediate goals...“
The current status has, however, a little bit improved:
- Replacement for HBook/PAW (RooTuple Package)
- Data store for micro/nano-DST (KAnGARoo Package)
- Conditions database (RooCond Package)
