On this and other mailing lists, there have been recent discussions of "numerical lisp" which in one aspect or another has been the vision of many of us, some for many years. My approach is to write libraries I think will form a piece of the overall solution, with the hope that others will join in and write compatible libraries that form another piece. So, I initially wrote GSLL and then split the grid part out into Antik (which has other features I adapted from my personal libraries). The grid functions can use enhancement, but they are usable now for developing library ports.
Stuff deleted ...
So, if anyone has thoughts on FLAME or any other library, I'll be happy to contribute my ideas if it will help.
I would like to see links to additional special functions, such as http://www.netlib.org/amos/readme for Bessel functions of complex order. This one is written in FORTRAN-77. Several years ago, I did make links to it, but it was an ugly and painful effort using another library that does not function anymore. The next time the need arises, I will try again, and post the results to encourage wider usage.

I would also like to see interpolation on irregular grids using kridging
or interpolation of Delauny triangulated grids.
One of these days, when the needs really strikes, I will try to link CL to the triangle library (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html -- I tested the C code on linux, and there is documentation for linking it as a library.)
