Thanks! Yes I did notice Arraymancer - it looks very exciting. Also I noticed 
Neo. I haven't tried them yet - will do that in the next few weeks.

For plotting I am most used to Python's matplotlib and Julia's PyPlot wrapper. 
I am also playing with gnuplot since it's supported by almost any language out 
there. There is a nim package for gnuplot, too, which is great. Will try it out.

Just a question about Arraymancer + Neo (or any other linear algebra package). 
For a most useful quick demo to be compared to Matlab and Julia, these are the 
most useful functions I would need:

  * nd-arrays (vectors and matrices) of integer, floating number, or complex 
values.
  * Slicing, concatenation, transposing... these sorts of array operations.
  * Broadcast basic math functions to any array.
  * Linear algebra (e.g. matrix multiplication, solving linear equations).
  * Complex 1D FFT and IFFT - this one is very important.
  * Some digital signal processing functions, but that's less important.
  * All above, running in CPU only (with MKL and/or automated multi-threading 
e.g. for large FFT/IFFT); plus running in GPU with minimal code change - mostly 
only converting CPU arrays to GPU arrays, then converting them back after the 
computation.



(In near future: Basic descriptive statistical functions; 1D and 2D linear and 
spline interpolation; 1D and 2D polynomial fitting; numerical integration; ODE 
solver.)

I'm not expecting a comprehensive set of solutions in Nim today. However, would 
be really nice to know what already exists. :-)

Thanks again for the answer, and for the amazing Nim & Arraymancer package!
