Regarding the arcane API of c-math, they have shown a very strong receptivity to simplifying things and improving the structure. Regarding Colt, I don't think that Colt is even all that close to the state of the art for linear algebra performance available in Java. It used to be the pinnacle, but various other libraries have substantially eclipsed it. Other libraries have the added benefit of being able to make use of Atlas or other platform specific implementations where available. This can give outrageous performance. -- Ted Dunning, CTO DeepDyve
