I was playing around at work with some galois field stuff (very cs) and was very pleased to find that the lu decomposition for Julia "just worked" with the custom galois field type that I implemented. All in all about 75 lines of highly performant code, which is what I needed because I was conducting searches over 2^32 elements.

Did you ever try Magma? I graduated in pure maths from University of Sydney where Magma was born. It was great for doing Galois theory stuff.

Does magma compile down to highly efficient code?

That's cool! What were using the galois fields for?
