Re: [Matlisp-users] Question wrt interface to Allegro

[A.J. R. <bli...@gm...>]

I have some code which goes part way towards that (using the
cl-blapack links to BLAS and LAPACK, which are auto-generated and use
CFFI), but got seduced by lisp-matrix's duality for either
lisp-centric or foriegn-centric storage.

So much for getting sold on hype.

On the other hand, it's been a fun project (as per another post, you
can see the lisp-matrix/cl-blapack work I'm doing at github, and I
probably should return by matlisp hacks back there for posterity,
though unfortunately not for reuse, I'm just not that good at lisp
right now...).
