A nice vector math library for D that puts us competitive will be a nice

The gl3n library might be something good to build on:
https://bitbucket.org/dav1d/gl3n
It looks to be a continuation of the OMG library used by Deadlock, and
is similar to the glm (http://glm.g-truc.net) c++ library which emulates
glsl vector ops in software.
We'd need to ask if it can be re-licensed from MIT to Boost.
Hi,
that's definitly possible! But to be honest, I don't think putting gl3n
into phobos is a good idea. Why does phobos, the std. lib, need a
vector-lib? I haven't seen any other language with something like gl3n
in the std. lib. Also I used my own PEP-8, C (K&R with spaces) style, it
would be a real pain changing this to the Phobos style. One more point
is, that it's not just a Vector-lib, it also does Matrix-,
Quaternion-math, interpolation and implements some other useful
mathematical functions (as found in GLSL).
Of course I am open to a discussion.
PS:// I already talked with Manu about this topic, and I don't wait too
long, gl3n will have core.simd support soon.
