Julia is also speedy doing math.
I wrapped a bit of Fortran recently: https://github.com/jkominek/lbfgsb/ I had to learn more about the Fortran ABI than I cared to, but it's doable. If you needed to do a lot of it, it would be worth creating something like ffi/fortran/unsafe with FFI types that map a bit more directly to Fortran's types, and wrapping _fun with something that know's about Fortran's quirks. -- Jay Kominek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
