David and Nasos,

Thank you for the interest.

I heard about Armadillo and Eigen3 but I have no idea of functionalities
provided by them.
For what concerns my code, one possible "weak-point" is that many operation
rely on LAPACK (through boost-numeric_binding).
While I'm not sure this is compliant with uBLAS philosophy (e.g., I think
to the C reimplementation of BLAS subrourines), my primary target was to
bring some MATLAB/Octave functionalities to uBLAS without reinventing the
wheel and the use of LAPACK appeared to me a good trade-off between
high-quality code, speed of development and portability.

Best,
