@fuzzybinary Can you use typed data for some of these (it sounds like vectors and transformations could be an extension type around Float64List perhaps)? For leaf FFI calls, you can use the .address extension to pass typed views as pointers without allocating, but the pointer is only valid before the native function returns.
