bq. I probably won't use numbers
Do you mean you have re-implemented everything that is now in "Commons Numbers"?
bq. better Commons math implementation
Design improvements, at least, mostly come from externalizing the low-level
classes to "Commons Numbers".
Unfortunately there is a lot of work just in rewriting the {{Field}}-related
algorithms... :-(

So I am quite interested in quality of commons libraries. The problem is that it is hard to contribute to both projects simultaneously, so I am focused on kotlin side. I probably won't use numbers since it is much easier to do them in kotlin-multiplatform using external field operations instead of Java class inheritance (and I have already done most of it). On the other hand, I will definitely use rng and matrix operations. > Make RealFieldElement implement Number > -- > > Key: MATH-1448 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1448 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Wish >Reporter: Alexander Nozik >Priority: Trivial > > RealFieldElement in some cases could be used as a substitute for a generic > `Number` and it quite easy to make it implement `Number` interface.

I use Commons math/numbers/rng only as a back-end implementation IIUC, that means that implementing and improving things on the "Commons" side would benefit both sets of users (?). bq. it is not possible to back-port the most advanced design solutions from kotlin in java. But, still, the "back-end" could be shared, no? > Make RealFieldElement implement Number > -- > > Key: MATH-1448 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1448 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Wish >Reporter: Alexander Nozik >Priority: Trivial > > RealFieldElement in some cases could be used as a substitute for a generic > `Number` and it quite easy to make it implement `Number` interface.

Now I develop a numeric library for kotlin which uses a lot of design ideas from commons-math (they look much better in kotlin because of possibility of context-oriented design). Sadly, it is not possible to back-port the most advanced design solutions from kotlin in java. > Make RealFieldElement implement Number > -- > > Key: MATH-1448 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1448 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Wish >Reporter: Alexander Nozik >Priority: Trivial > > RealFieldElement in some cases could be used as a substitute for a generic > `Number` and it quite easy to make it implement `Number` interface.

Please have a look at the
[Field|https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-numbers.git;a=tree;f=commons-numbers-field/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/numbers/field]
implementations in "Commons Numbers". The class that represent field elements
extends {{Number}}.
Review welcome.
