An Ada binding is inappropriate. Stuff like this is usually written in
inline generics in languages like C++ & Ada for high speed
(which is necessary for the types of program that use matrices and
vectors.) If you want to do OO bindings to a numerical computing
library, use the Fortran BLAS/LAPACK as your underlying library
(it's been tweaked for speed for years) and do the OO in Ada.
Alternately, Mat Webb's library has some matrix manipulation in
it, and I'm sure there's other libraries out there that can
already handle this in Ada.

I see no trend at all, except toward women playing mean and ugly
sociopaths who are good at killing and who enjoy dark powers. Maybe
it's just my friends?
