I see.

Though array operations still only give us SIMD and no multithreading (?!).
There's absolutely no way you'd want multithreading on a BLAS1
operation. It's not until BLAS3 that you become computation-limited.
I think the best approach is lyla's, taking an existing, optimized C
BLAS library and writing some kind of wrapper using operator overloading
etc. to make programming easier and more intuitive.
In my opinion, we actually need matrices in the standard library, with a
very small number of primitive operations built-in (much like Fortran
does). Outside those, I agree, wrappers to an existing library should be
used.
