| Jan 31, 2012 at 17:58 | comment | added | Leonid Shifrin | @Istvan The speed should never be the primary concern at the start, at least unless you know in advance that speed is central to the application. In Mathematica, we perhaps need to think of it more than in some other languages (e.g. Python), but the principle still holds. With my demonstrated attachement to microbenchmarks, I may sound hypocritical here, but I actually do follow this principle for whatever code I have to write. Microbenchmarking is useful to see how fast you can be within the language, if you absolutely have to (i.e. fore real bottlenecks). | |

@Istvan I agree with Szabolcs. Streams are a pretty low-level I/O tool, suitable also for reading/writing of unstructured data (e.g., not even representing valid Mathematica expressions). Notebooks are structured documents, and writing to them assumes, to my mind, higher-level I/O abstraction. If you feel a need to redirect there, it might mean that your current design is too low-level (regarding logging or whatever purpose it is you use Write for), so you will be better off by redesigning this part of your code to use higher-level constructs.

| Jan 31, 2012 at 13:54 | comment | added | István Zachar | I was afraid of this. Isn't the purpose of streaming/piping to provide means of saving data by easy redirection? Considering, that this bug is still not resolved, piping is really not that easy in Mathematica... | |

+1 for using block, although you would probably need to define Write = NotebookWrite[#1, Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[#2]], "Output"]] & or something to make it work.
