I would guess that we would need to bring Boost up to the level of currently available libraries, in C++ or any other language in order to gain the attention of serious mathematicians. Since there is already a huge investment in other languages (such as GSL, which is written in C), this will be a significant hurdle. We should also ask whether C++ *is* the best development platform for mathematical applications.
Well, it definitely has the potential to be... with the proper Boost... /David
