Yeah. It's a chicken and egg thing. Imagine if resources applied to PyTorch was spent implementing in Julia.
But then there's not enough users... so the cycle continues until one day Julia hits critical mass and a tipping point is reached.
- eastWestMath 4y agoI used to be very optimistic about Julia, but my enthusiasm has really cooled off the last year. I find JAX+jax_dataclasses gives me 90% of what I wanted from Julia (a nice monad library that is compatible with jit’ed code and the ability to cache compiled code would make it a solidly better language).
- staunton 4y agoI don't know whether the monad library is nice but caching compiles code is something they are making great progress on. Veraion 1.9 seems able to store most compiled code on disk.
