Ever since I started using R and Pandas/NumPy, I always wondered who wrote and maintained all those linear algebra libraries. Embarrassingly I didn't know until now.
Very well deserved!
- jhgb 5y agoThere's a very good chance that you're actually using third-party modern high-performance reimplementations of these libraries, like MKL or OpenBLAS. The original Netlib libraries are often a compatibility fallback. For example the Windows installer of Octave asks you which one you want to use.
