Very impressive library! Is it still in the developmental stage, or do you know of anyone using it for real yet? Also, I love livebook! I keep a tab with it open and it has replaced my use of iex. Can you talk a little bit about how you decided to embark on building that, too? An ML library and framework is a big enough job already, how did you decide to add Livebook to the list?

This release means we are getting closer to prod usage but Nx requires one of the existing compilers/backends to shine. So I am hoping we will see production uses once we officially release Torchx/EXLA packages too. --- Curiously, I had two ideas for the name Livebook: 1. An interactive book to teach LiveView. LiveView is a new approach for developing web apps and I thought it could be worth exploring different non-traditional ways of teaching it too! 2. Livebook as code notebooks (what we got!) It just feels a great fit for the platform, considering Phoenix, LiveView, Distributed Erlang, etc. So why not? :) And I am curious to see if and how we can contribute new ideas to the already extensive ecosystem of code notebooks!
