This is interesting, I did write BLAS in Rust https://github.com/schultzer/libblas it's only single threaded at the moment.

I feel people forget to ask a more important question before they start a full rewrite and that is: Where is the hardware trends going and, is dedicated GPU, CUDA etc. even the future.

I feel it would be wasteful to spend a lot of time writing GPU specific code, Its not really maintainable on these scientific project (where only a select few people contribute, usually people that do the research).
