Maybe there would also be uses for a native Haskell matrix library but my intuition is that something like what I described above would be more useful to more people. Am I wrong?
It would be nice to not restrict the element type of the matrix. There might be matrices of Integers or polynomials and you want to compute a determinant. LAPACK can't do that. So there should be some framework of type classes where the floating point number instances use LAPACK and the others use Haskell code.
