Hi,

As Luigi hasn't posted a link in a while ... here is one that looks interesting

http://www.nongnu.org/gsl-**shell/doc/http://www.nongnu.org/gsl-shell/doc/

(would fit nicely in luatex a library given that tex as system for typesetting is used for scientific publishing)

I've (of course...) already built a binding for gsl and I keep an eye on it. Until two days ago the problem was luajit: but on September 16 http://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/Support-for-goto-and-labels-added so, considering the move from lua 5.1 to lua 5.2, it's reasonable to start to think at luajittex (well, at least for me) .

Interesting. So it works well as a library? I'm not so sure if we gain much with jit in luatex but it's worth a try. It would also be interesting to see how the 5.2 garbage collector works out (as well as the new string has implementation).
