I really like the concept but I don't really want to learn a niche programming language to interact with the site.

- nextos 10y agoYou can always use PyMC or some other probabilistic programming library/language.
- otoburb 10y agoChurch was the original probabilistic programming language used for the book, and as per another comment in this thread and a draft PhD dissertation[1], WebPPL is the successor to Church. "Niche" is probably in the eyes of the beholder if the audience is deliberately diving into probabilistic programming languages and probabilistic cognitive models.

- wodenokoto 10y agoIt's basically scheme with built in probabilistic functions. If you know scheme or lisp it should be no different than learning to use a few new functions. If you are not familiar with functional programming you might find it difficult to learn. I know I found it difficult.
