Holy shit! As a long time user of both, I'd never put two and two together before.

Did you mean "FFTW is no longer in the standard library"? Since it's ... well ... not (it's a separate package that you have to install).

It's in the default METADATA branch in Julia: https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/tree/metadata-v2/FF...

so you can just Pkg.add it rather than having to Pkg.clone it from a special source.

Yeah, I meant to say it's no longer in the standard library. It's not given special privileges anymore, so we are free to iterate alternatives to it. I'm not sure how to edit and fix that post (there's another typo in there :( )
