As far as I know, no such system exists. Strict static typing and numerical computing are, I suspect, more at odds with each other than they casually appear to be. The seemingly simple `+` operator is the most polymorphic and overloaded function-like entity in many static languages (and often can't be defined as a normal function for that very reason). And `+` doesn't hold a candle to the polymorphism of array indexing and slicing, which is pretty crucial for productive numerical work.

Thanks for your reply.

Someday, Haskell will get a good matrix library, and then I'll be happy.
