Hi Robert,
To add to the list of library propositions for numpy in Lisp, we can probably also have a look at the language Hylang that is a Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python.
Cheers

| I was looking for a system that I could use to do some numerical | computations I now do in Python in CL instead. That involves a | relatively large function library (or perhaps more accurately, the | developers of numpy have a better idea what functions are likely to be | needed than do I), and the ability to do vectorized operations.
| I asked for a CFFI binding because I found a number of stabs at something similar in CL, but none looked promising for use in the short term.
| I'm not sure what you mean by "a custom kernel," I'm afraid.
| Schedule was "as soon as possible," in the sense of "if it's there I will start using it right away."
| I guess the trait valuation is that I would like something that I | could use instead of numpy, so quite portable (although if it only | worked in SBCL, that would be fine), implementation effort: | essentially none (I want to use a capable linear algebra library, not | write one).
| Best, | R
