Next steps for REFPROP & CoolProp

[ghost]

Hello @ibell,

Now that you work close to both projects, can you share with us some insights of how will evolve the two projects? Will they merge to become an only one CoolProp project?

Not any time in the near future. Perhaps 10 years from now, there might be some merging in one direction or the other, but for now, no, they are going to march on their separate paths into the future.

OK, nice to know. I would have imagined that REFPROP would be merged into CoolProp, in the form of a partial or complete rewrite of the code in CoolProp.
