You should also try D to see that seamless C interop has always been there for many years.

It may outclass it in performance. However, all my life I've been waiting for something that runs over 10h on a single charge. I am naturally surprised that this is not something that ppl truly appreciate in a laptop. Hell, I even boug

What?! There are static languages that compile faster: Nim, D... Honestly, I used ggplotD library and it takes roughly two seconds to compile and miliseconds to show the plot.

Julia is fast but not faster and very memory hungry. If you care about squeezing every bit of performance you generally go to C++. If you too lazy for C++ you go D. Hence to me, Julia is an odd tool. Interesting but more as a language with

Noice! Reading through the release notes leaves a feeling of D being a mature language long enough. If you're looking for magnitutes faster scripting alternative to Python like once me, take a peek!

Rust is not a very good example here considering the amount of time the op might have spent waiting for the compiler and steep learning curve of the language...

Why don't you try D if type-and-compile is what you enjoy?

not on mobile but as a service -- Abbyy is the market leader in OCR from documents.

Julia looks more like Python than a fp language tbo and that was why I staed away. The most elegant fp code I've seen was written in Scala.

I read through Arraymancer readme and the rationale and got very mixed feelings about the project and its purpose. It's everything and nothing at the same time. NumPy like syntax and functionality, sklearn algorithms and look, deep lea

Thanks. So here are the points for D according to the table. Very few breaking changes because language is pretty mature. Not sure if Nim is as stable but just this one fact is enough for me personally. D has slices, ranges and lazy evaluat

Also, all good points. Appreciate that.

Thank you for the detailed answer. It clears things up.

Ok. But going back to the issue. I live in Munich and know at least two big companies who use D in production and organize meetups. I have yet to see a single company that uses Nim.

Are you the same person who attacked ppl on D forum. The nickname is familiar and the style ;) Chill. All languages have dusty corners and given the amount of ppl D has it's obvious that not all things are fixed in time but they were a

Depends on where do you read ;) But tbo D community concentrates around D forum and in majority consists of former C/C++ veterans. Being a younger language Nim lures younger and active members who probably never heard of D anyway. Hist

With all due respect, Nim is a great language performance wise however I fail to see how is it different from D. Many advertised features have been present in D for a long time. Syntax wise Nim it is a step back. It's hard to read and

Can you be a little bit more concrete about the tech you are building right now that is not possible to build using classic ML approaches? You see, I am actually going to work thinking about how should we reduce the model size and still kee

I thought so too, now I believe that it was sheer naivety. If anything, the realization that education matters is the last thing they come to because this is not their task. Pumping resources out while maintaining the belief of being compet

You can't even imagine. The whole east Russian speaking conglomerate of contries is basically a test to your human nature and survivalism.

And don't forget that "modern alternative" should boast as good as Lua C ffi which is a tough thing to beat. Should I mention luajit?

Once you get to know Lua tables and then metatables, you will question the existence of different data structures :)

I have surface book 2 and have been using it both for development via WLS + VS code and as a tablet for drawing, taking meeting notes etc. I would never come back to Mac or any Linux compatible laptop because I got used to its versatility.

NLP algorithms are just fine. It is the combination of regexes, NLP and deep learning that allows you to achieve good extraction results. So, basically OCR / pdf parser -> jpeg/xml/json -> regexes + NLP / DL extrac

Yes, most invoices are in PDF but only about 40% of them are native PDF meaning they are actual documents not scanned images converted to PDFs. There are are also compound PDF invoices which contain images. So, in order to extract data from
