A missing tech here feels like TypeScript. It feels like the perfect mix of expressiveness and type safety for AI/ML work. I wish there was more tooling out there for it.
For me, Go feels too verbose, but I appreciate the static typing and performance. Python with its robust ecosystem and optional types feels okay, but the performance is really awful.
- whalesalad 3y agoWhat about Python performance is awful in AI? All of the hard stuff is delegated to a C library or the GPU.
- d357r0y3r 3y agoThere's tons of glue code that gets written in Python.
- tl 3y agoPython makes it hard to get this right. Simple idioms result in copies of large collections or other work shifting from C to Python. The state-of-the-art of Python profiling [1] has to target this problem to the exclusion of other concerns.
