Pretty cool. Would love to use Nim for scientific computing, but I am not sure how mature are, e.g., Neo (https://github.com/andreaferretti/neo) and alike. Any positive feedback?
4 hours ago? It says 4 days for me.
But when evaluating these things keep the following in mind:
- we're very active on matrix / discord [0][1] and more than willing to provide significant help to anyone who wishes to use Nim for scientific computing
- all of us that do use Nim for scientific computing wouldn't do it, if it wasn't feasible. While we're small, we do have all functionality that any of us need & in the cases where specific things are lacking, we have the ability to call Python [2], Julia [3] and R code [4].
And just keep in mind, every community starts small. :)

For an example, consider calling the least squares routine `dgelsd` in arraymancer:

wrapped up in a nicer user facing API.
