numjs VS gpu.js

BTW: you might want to add support for typed arrays.

See: https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/blob/8804c36591d11...

This is really old, but added as part of the shape of the vector as well: https://github.com/nicolaspanel/numjs/blob/master/src/dtypes...

NumJs is a JavaScript library inspired by Python's NumPy. NumJs, while not as comprehensive as some of the other libraries on this list, supports multidimensional arrays and contains fundamental mathematical operations and functions.

The first repo has one core contribitor who hasn't been active since June 2018.

I believe it could be possible for JavaScript to be a viable language ecosystem, but there is dire need for cohesion, collaboration, and longevity. As it stands, there many potentially viable projects strewn across the NPM landscape like old, discarded toys.

I'm not aware of an initiative, let alone ethos, in the JS community that comes anywhere close to something like NumFocus.

You might already be familiar, but a GPU.js backend can provide some speedups via good old WebGL -- no need for WebGPU just yet!

Very cool project.

I learned WebGL three years ago but before I dove into the underlying concepts I used GPU.js [1] to quickly prototype my project. Eventually, the abstraction prevented necessary performance optimizations so I switched to vanilla GLSL and these vanilla GLSL "shaders" were initially ejected from GPU.js.

Writing JS code then looking at the generated WebGPU output is a great way to get familiar with WebGPU. Thanks for this.

I used this library on my project but I think it's no longer maintained. I PRed a fix for buggy atan2 over a year ago and no movement [1]. I do highly recommend it if you're a web developer interested in harnessing parallel processing.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've submitted a PR to resolve this: https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/issues/757

That being said, if you're not building from source (you're running an LTS version of node on a supported platform), you don't need to worry about python or many of the build deps.
