BLAS uses Fortran I think, and Lapack.

Good luck calling that slow.

Another clueless JS hipster, maybe.

The reference BLAS in Fortran is indeed slow. I'm not aware of any tuned version in Fortran. It might be possible to re-write the BLIS structure in Fortran and get reasonable performance on, say, Haswell, but not on SKX, if we talk x86.
