It also heavily improves composability.
It's LESS performant if not done carefully. Certainly FastAI, Matt rocklin etc didn't reimplement a subset in python just to get slower code

- DNF2 6y agoI agree, the performance is a very nice bonus, but it is primarily about expressiveness, composability and natural simplicity. It just seems profoundly un-natural and arbitrary to limit dispatch to only the first argument.
