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.
