Same repository, different branch. The master branch, which is a couple months old now, implements the matrix and vector types on top of a single, list-based, length-agnostic structure type. It's a snapshot of the moment I realized the volume of code and run-time loops were becoming a problem. The new code is in the dev branch. It implements just the vector types in a manner similar to generic interfaces while also exposing a progression of increasingly type-specific variants. This allows me to prototype with a generic API, then eliminate the overhead of dynamic dispatch later by switching to more type-specific operations. (If it's not obvious, I'm working toward a pluggable type system harness, so the compiler can specialize and prune automatically.) > By the way, I'm working on updating the opengl package to the current > OpenGL 4.6 spec.

Through March, I'll be announcing several graphics packages that could benefit from this directly. Let's try to keep a conversation going.
