-teqp is a C++-based library with wrappers. It was written because implementing EOS (particularly working out the derivatives) is a painful , error-prone, and slow process.  The advent of automatic differentiation makes the implementation of EOS as fast as hand-written derivatives, and much easier to implement without errors.
