Mmmm, if I may be so bold, let me say one thing… If some of the people around here were willing to act as a committee in any endeavour of mine and offer their expertise to me for free I would be on cloud nine, to be quite honest 😃 . I used to think a bit like you in this respect, but then I discovered open source. I’m not interested in being in full control anymore, just want to share.

But back on topic, I agree a SpecialFunctions replacement is a key piece in the ecosystem, and deserves a good deal of attention to make it top notch and remain maintained. I’ve used it more that once in the past and found it very good. I didn’t even realize it was not pure Julia.
