torchtyping VS Nim

Not really an answer to your question, but there are Python packages that try to solve the problem of tensor shapes that you mentioned, e.g. https://github.com/patrick-kidger/torchtyping or https://github.com/deepmind/tensor_annotations

I disagree. I've had a serious attempt at array typing using variadic generics and I'm not impressed. Python's type system has numerous issues... and now they just apply to any "ArrayWithNDimensions" type as well as any "ArrayWith2Dimenensions" type.

Variadic protocols don't exist; many operations like stacking are inexpressible; the synatx is awful and verbose; etc. etc.

I've written more about this here as part of my TorchTyping project: [0]

FWIW I'm the author of torchtyping so happy to answer any questions about that. :) I think people are using it!

The one thing I really *really* wish got more attention was named tensors and the tensor type system. Tensor misalignment errors are a constant source of silently-failing bugs. While 3rd party libraries have attempted to fill this gap, it really needs better native support. In particular it seems like bad form to me for programmers to have to remember the specific alignment and broadcasting rules, and then have to apply them to an often poorly documented order of tensor indices. I'd really like to see something like tsalib's warp operator made part of the main library and generalized to arbitrary function application, like a named-tensor version of fold. But preferably using notation closer to that of torchtyping.

Yes it does work with numerical literals! It support using integers to specify an absolute size, strings to specify names for dimensions that should all be consistently sized (and optionally also checks named tensors), "..." to indicate batch dimensions, and so on. See the full list here.

22. Nim - $80,000

I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?

For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

I see a valid cert for https://nim-lang.org/

FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:

> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

You better off with using a compiled language.

If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).

And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.

Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).

But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
