Kind of curious: what is compelling about GSL? I ported a few things from
it to a Lisp that had partially completed bindings, mostly because it was
already basically there, but it's generally a trashfire of very little
utility to a language like J which already has most of it built in.

For example, while I am not aware of any simulated annealing J gizmoes,
differential evolution is almost always a better algorithm for
metaheuristic optimizers and it is implemented here: math/deoptim . It
worked the last time I checked! Was pretty fast too.
