I started down the GA path in 2005 with the purchase soon after of Geometric Algebra for Physicists, and other than learning the simplicity of expressing things in this algebra, I have not been able to dive deep into its uses. I have checked out Versor[1] for code stuff, and there was the promise of potential hardware implementations of the algorithms necessary to be able to make gains in the human program GA code to the pipelines and bits on CPUs, GPUs and other hardware. I think the day is coming for an explosion of GA in everything, since it has been simmering behind the scenes for many years thanks to many, Dave Hestenes[2] in particular. I love his book New Foundations for Classical Mechanics. I program in APL and J[3], and hope that the array programming will segue into a winning GA library/module and way of approaching coding GA to
