Hi all,

I'm making progress on Calcium, the library for exact real and complex arithmetic I have been working on the past few months.

I have some example programs demonstrating its present capabilities for working with algebraic and transcendental numbers: http://fredrikj.net/calcium/examples.html

There is still a long list of issues (https://github.com/fredrik-johansson/calcium/issues/3) to sort out before Calcium will truly be ready for public consumption, but I hope to make some kind of 0.1 release in the next 1-2 months. Anyhow, the codebase is approaching a point where interfaces and features are stabilizing, so it starts to make sense to ask for more feedback.

Are there any takers for writing a preliminary wrapper in Nemo? Be warned that this will involve discovering that various utility methods (I/O, conversions, predicates, etc.) need to be added or fixed in Calcium :-)
