glam is a fast linear algebra library for Rust providing vectors, matrices, quaternions, and affine transformation types for games and graphics. It leverages 128-bit SIMD (SSE2, NEON, simd128) for high-performance math on x86, ARM, and WebAssembly targets.

Use cases

• 3d math for a game engine in rust
• vector and matrix operations for graphics programming
• quaternion rotations for camera and physics
• simd-accelerated linear algebra in rust
• affine transforms for 2d and 3d rendering
• math library for a wasm game or graphics app

When to choose

• you need fast, simd-optimized vectors, matrices, and quaternions in Rust
• you are building a game, renderer, or physics simulation in Rust
• you need a wide range of scalar types (f32, f64, integer, bool vectors)
• you target x86, aarch64, or wasm and want SIMD by default

When to avoid

• you need arbitrary-precision or symbolic math
• you need GPU shader math rather than CPU-side math
• you need n-dimensional or sparse linear algebra like nalgebra/lapack features
• you require a stable portable SIMD path on stable Rust
