With proper I mean that areas such as eigenvalue computations and singular value decomposition is included. The license of GSL is of course a problem. The readline solution doesn't really fit well in this context. However GSL is not the only matrix library out there. LAPACK ( http://www.netlib.org/lapack/) has license that fits better. The code is in Fortran 90 though, so it might be harder to translate directly. That said, it might make sense to go the FFI-route for matrix computations. Getting the details right for the more advanced algorithms is hard, very hard. -- Jens Axel Søgaard
