Thanks for the link, Tom. I've seem PPL before and the project is certainly interesting, but their choice of license is rather suboptimal. They're most interesting as a general processing library yet they have chosen to use the GPL (and explicitly say they're not willing to release under the LGPL). That really just makes for a painful and annoying distribution process that (for my taste at least), is just not worth the hassles that would come with adopting it as a dependency.
On a more technical side, their project is interesting but also worth noting that they use GMP for their math. That makes for a stable and robust system, but also one that is *very* slow (like two orders of magnitude). They might have a floating point means to get around that, but I couldn't find anything on the site. Alas, the ways we might potentially put the library to use are somewhat limited too (at least with current priorities). Cheers!
