Have any of you checked out JLink for mathematica? This is a very interesting JNI bridge for Mathematica. I find it kinda interesting because they use a Functor pattern in the "Eval" class of this package.

I'm also looking at the Omegahat Project for intersting usage that may relate back to our library in our future:
http://www.omegahat.org/
Specifically, this is an interesting XML Markup for Statistics that R and Matlab currently provide.
http://www.omegahat.org/StatDataML/
I also notice theres support for this in Octave www.octave.org as well.
I know this is actually outside of the "scope of development" for commons math. But, I think its interesting to see where all these projects are going in terms of Java development, cross language interaction and the exposure of their api's. One interest to me is defining a "subset" of functionality across all these applications that can also applies to commons math. I'm interested in the possibility of a "specification/api" that can be used to define statistical/mathematical evaluations in java. A generic api that one could write an evaluation in which could be executed against any provider, similar in nature to JAXP or JNDI.
