Hello Swift community, to make use of Swift more appealing and useful for science, engineering and finance and everything else involving actually calculating things, I think it would be a big step forward if Swift would ship with its own math/numerics library.
Wouldn't it be great if Swift would offer functionality similar to Numpy in its native math lib? It think it would be great to have a "standard" annotation for vector arithmetic that the Swift community has agreed on and that scientific packages can build on. Which functionality should be covered by a Swift's math lib and where should be drawn the line? Any thoughts? (If it is not the right time now to talk this topic, as it is not mentioned in the goals for Swift 4 by Chris, I apologize for bringing this up now. But I think then this should be discussed later at some point not in the infinite future) Björn
