C code has to be written in a bizarre manner with their own garbage collection functions. As a result, there is a somewhat steep learning curve. Ialso looked at FLINT: https://flintlib.org/ But FLINT does not have the functions I require. I have settled on the Perl module Math::Prime::Util::GMP: https://manpages.org/mathprimeutilgmp/3 This seems promising. For one thing, the input/output is much easier to control with Perl than with Maxima. FOSS is the greatest. Who would ever use Microslop?
