> Libraries like this pop up in all kinds of languages to only slowly die off due to lack of community. I do not agree on the, very specific, subject of deep-learning. Libraries pop up and then die because they lack competitive performances (often, they don't even have GPU capabilities) or are too restrained due to the methods they used to stay performant (restricting the shape of the neural network). This particular library builds on XLA (the compiler behind JAX) which should give it competitive performance and a flexible enough interface. Once you have that, having a large community is not that important (most deep learning models are built of fairly simple building blocks that are easy to port if need be).
