One of the big pushes for C++26 is BLAS. I'll bet if you look hard enough you can find a box of FORTRAN punch cards with a reference implementation on it. Because it's not new is not valuable? There is still quite a bit of research going on in the problem space: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.10173.
But why?
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p1673r11.html#why-i.... For sure the STLs will not have the fastest possible implementation, but it will be broadly useful even though it is nowhere near novel. Matt
