For my work, I use `mir-blas` - ndslice bindings to CBLAS API. It 
is faster to write binding rather than finish BLAS implementation.

It is useful. And I think it is very promising for Dlang 
promotion and can really involve new companies. I will be happy 
to finish it if a company sponsors the work. Companies like 
CPU/GPU vendors or companies that require slim and fast BLAS 
implementation will win from this work. However, I have no idea 
how to sell mir-glas, it is more complex to find a client rather 
than finish it.
