(If you haven't tried the Rust 1.0 beta, I highly recommend trying the 1.0 final release that's coming out tomorrow. It's got string handling, package management, segfault-immunity, and GTK bindings that place it in competition with languages like Python and JavaScript but it compiles to GC-less native code with performance comparable to C or C++ and not only does it have a great FFI for calling C code, it makes it really easy to generate libraries that C code can call.)

However, crates.io does appear to already have a couple of different BLAS bindings, so there are obviously some people interested in that use.
I have only read praise about Rust, and am very eager to try it in what seems to be a good fit. What is the state of scientific computing in Rust? is there any equivalent of SciPy, NumPy, Scikits, Pandas, IPython and the most important one for me matplotlib in Rust?
