Hi Quite dreamy, I was thinking at the conceptual possibility of writing a spad wrapper for the mathgl graphics library [1].
One could make spad-system-calls (systemCommand$MoreSystemCommands) sending scripts in mgl language to the mgl interpreter [2] (in the spirit of Bill's GnuDraw) or one could try to link the shared objects from the available C interface [3]. I've seen Waldek's experimental lapack package [4]. IIUC correctly the equivalent in this case would be spad functions calling lisp function wrappers which make "alien-calls" to functions in the shared objects from C. I was wondering, waiting for a FFI for spad, would not be possible/realistic/efficient to prepare aldor wrapper functions that directly call the external C functions, then "somehow" compile these functions via FriCAS, and finally expose them? I'm sorry I'm vague but I never used aldor.
