How about Eigen?
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

I've used it extensively in my C++ projects, and I'm very pleased.

Last time I counted, Eigen was about 10-15k lines of C++ code.  It's all
templates, and it might be the perfect project to translate to D to show off
some of D's meta and template features.  I only say this because I really
miss not having a linear algebra library in D, and I dislike language
bindings.

I'm still learning D from TDPL, but I would really like to see some sample
code in D for doing expression templates.  For example, could anyone
translate this to D? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_templates  It
took me about half an hour to understand the code because it's kind of hard
to read.  I wonder if D's version would be more readable.
