[Haskell-cafe] Re: haskell blas bindings: does iomatrix gemv transposing of matrix a?

Ah, i see, i didn't see that function.  That's pretty slick actually.


> The new version is pretty typeclass-heavy, since that's the only way I know how to support both ST and IO.  Consequently, there have been some performance regressions.  I have some optimization ideas (in the "TODO") file, but I do not have time to implement them right now.  If you or anyone else would like to help with this or anything else, I would be glad to have you aboard the development "team".

I would be glad to help.  Its probably about time i learned the type
system anyways.
