thanks for all the opinions!

that would be a good starting point for a matrix library

thx, havent found that before :)
i haven't used lapack/blas before, i will have a look at it. i'm 
using mostly Eigen for my projects.

that would be somewhat close already to matlab like plotting

i have used gl3n before, it's not really what i'm looking for. 
gl3n afaik only provides up to 4x4 dense matrices, with the focus 
on being a GLM (http://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.7/index.html) 
replacement for the use with Opengl. correct me if i'm wrong.


Cairo and Kheops look interesting. I have used Openvg before. 
Some time ago i've created a little Openvg D wrapper for shiva vg 
( https://code.dlang.org/packages/dopenvg ) . From a diagram or 
image viewer i'd also expect some level of interactivity. That's 
why i thought a web app with CEF would be suitable

do you have experience with creating web apps for desktop, or 
reasons why i'd definitively want to use a native framework for 
such a project? .. or for UI in general
