For stuff like that I think Numba really shines. But yes I get the issue.
Julia is great, but sometimes a bit less user friendly than Python, it's quite easy to shoot oneself in the foot performance wise using Julia.
- ssivark 3y agoI hate the fact that if I choose Numba, then I can’t easily compose with other tools like autodiff, etc. Maybe Jax improves the situation in some aspects. Generally though… While Python might have many distinct popular/well-developed tools, they tend to compose very badly. IME, it feels relatively painful if you’re trying to do something new which hasn’t been solved and wrapped for you. As for Julia footguns, it has been relatively trivial IME to get substantial improvements compared to Python. Whether that is the best one can do, I dunno.
