People have written programs in both of those areas using Fortran-IV which doesn't have overloading either.
- ogogmad 5y agoI think your comment is designed to troll me. The fact that it's so short and arrogant makes this more likely to be true. Just to be clear: Deep Learning means ConvNets or something fancier, which only became a hot research topic circa 2010 (though they also existed as a prototype in the late '80s). I doubt anybody has programmed ConvNets in Fortran IV; a language from 1962. And even if they did program a prototypical form of ConvNets (I suppose because they were originally an obscure proposal from the '80s) in Fortran-IV, it wouldn't be able to use such essentials as the GPU, or convenience features like autodiff, so in today's world it would be a toy. I suppose I've fed the troll.
