To state my objective again because I was unclear about it. I want to write a interpretor/compiler that can handles mathematical vector/matrix with linear algebra operation on llvm. Something like matlab/R. I am thinking at a higher level like performing type, and shape inference on matrix/vector type, unrolling the inner loop of matrix operation of full algebraic expression instead of computing the terms eagerly. Do people think llvm is suitable for this context?<div>

</div>In the approximately mathematical sense of "the sort of object manipulated by a processor with vector extensions", i.e. a generally small, fixed-size tuple of integer or floating-point element type. I don't mean the C++ resizable-array type.<br>
