I don’t know very much about template programming, and I currently use gsl. I’m interested in seeing if Eigen can be use in C. Has anybody used Eigen in C before? Is there something I can test to find out if it will be easy?

Since Eigen is a C++ template library, it cannot be directly used with C.
Hypothetically, one could wrap the C++ templates into a C API, and use that. However, that’s bound to involve a lot of work and would strike me as a bit pointless (one might as well use existing C libraries for linear algebra).
