That's what I was trying to get at: we need a common interface for both. Things like matrix/vector types should be interoperable between the two kinds of libraries. I work with more science-oriented (or rather math-oriented) linear algebra, but interoperability with 3D acceleration, for example, would be a very nice thing (for math visualization, etc.). > But I still think there's more need to fix containers and streams and > to have allocators in Phobos.
