Anything wrong with the BLAS bindings we have?
What will be the benefit of rewriting BLAS assuming a lot
of time has been spent in making the existing ones
fast and correct (or at least sort of predictable)?
On hardware made by AMD or Intel, I'd guess that
the Fortran editions will be more efficient anyway, since the
compilers will very likely exercise suitable instructions,
make the processors operate in parallel, or feed pipelines
efficiently.
Ada programs can be made to trigger these effects, too, but
not without building brittle constructions that rely on
current optimizers, or not without vendor specific extensions.
