I will not get into the language comparison or benchmarking aspects of
this thread.

I just note that "linking the f90 library that contains matmul" isn't
necessarily that straightforward.  Matmul is an intrinsic.  It is not
at all given  that there even *IS* a library that contains it; a compiler
is quite free to always do it inline.  And even if much of the work is
in a library routine, the interface to them isn't necessarily known
outside of the compiler.

Intrinsics are basically part of the compiler internals.  They *MAY* be
implemented with callable library routines, but there is no guarantee of that.
And it certainly isn't a portable way to call them.
