Because Church (probabilistic Scheme) has been mostly discontinued, and Venture (the next big MIT probabilistic programming language) is currently somewhat hard to work with.
Go try out the release tarballs and see.
- nextos 11y agoWhat do you think about alternatives? Like Anglican.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoLooking at the latest release of Anglican, it looks awesome. I'm quite happy to see a PPL actually being maintained that still uses a functional-style `query` (allowing conditional distributions to be Yet More Distributions) instead of the imperative observe-infer programming from Venture.
- nextos 11y agoYeah, it's also quite nice it's Clojure, so full JVM stuff at disposal.
