Hello all,

I've been playing with D now for a few months ever since I saw a 
reference to it on slashdot and have really enjoyed the language.  Its 
as close to an ideal language for me as I can see right now.  My 
principle interest in it is in writing numerical physics models.  I've 
written a few toy models (Particle particle codes mostly) but I'm 
wanting to embark on a larger effort.

I've been searching for a few days now on any references to work being 
done on supporting numerical programming in D. What I'm wondering in 
particular is if anyone has looked at wrapping LAPACK, BLAS, or GSL in 
D.  I know that D can call C libraries directly but there is still an 
extern(C) declaration that has to be made and D structures have to be 
defined to mirror the C structures.

Thanks

I'm not aware of anyone working on that so I think you're the first to give it a
shot. sounds fun.
