The ZeroMQ core library does not use gsl. We use it in two projects, zproto and zproject, which are nice examples of what is possible without going too meta. I started explaining zproject in my [Scalable C](http://Scalablec.org http://Scalablec.org) book.
- bogomipz 10y agoGood stuff, looking forward to reading more of your book.
- hallmark 10y agoAre there useful heuristics on where GSL is most applicable? Where it is relevant and powerful and not too meta; just the right amount of abstraction to represent a problem and its solution. For example, "GSL is likely a good choice at <abstract problem description>, such as <some very concrete examples>. And it may not be appropriate for <abstract problem description>, such as <other concrete examples>. Because of <some specific reasons>." I looked through the GSL website and also Scalable C and wasn't able to find any descriptions that place limits on the applications of GSL. A description of what a complex something isn't, from an expert, is almost as important as what that thing is. Your writing style in Scalable C is incredible and enlightening. I will be studying and referencing that book, even if I'm not directly coding C.
