I think it’s a little more complicated than that. BLAS and LAPACK (or
variants on them) are low-level matrix math libraries that many
higher-level libraries call. Few people actually use BLAS directly. So,
clearly, not every matrix math library is the same. What differentiates
BLAS from Armadillo is that you can be far more productive in Armadillo
because the syntax is friendly (and quite similar to Matlab and others).
There’s a reason why people use glm in C++. It’s probably the most
productive way to do matrix math with OpenGL. However, it may not be the
most productive way to do more general matrix math. That’s why I hear
about people using Armadillo, Eigen, and Blaze, but I’ve never heard
anyone recommend using glm. Syntax matters.
The reason I am considering gl3n is because it is old solid code. It's
proven itself. It'll make the review process relatively easy.
But hey, if we want to do it right, we'll never get any implementation in.
