The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[D] Ideal deep learning library
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.

Thinking in an Array Language
A really nice approach to this I've seen recently is Google's research on [Dex](https://github.com/google-research/dex-lang).

[D] PyTorch 2.0 Announcement
Have you tried Dex? https://github.com/google-research/dex-lang It is in a relatively early stage, but it is exploring some interesting parts of the design space.

Looking for languages that combine algebraic effects with parallel execution
I think [Dex](https://github.com/google-research/dex-lang) might be along the lines of what you're looking for, although its focus is on SIMD GPU-style parallelism rather than thread-level parallelism.

“Why I still recommend Julia”
Dex proves indexing correctness without a full dependent type system, including loops.

Haskell for Artificial Intelligence?
In case you want to see one research direction that's combining practical machine learning and functional programming, one of the authors of JAX (and the main author of its predecessor, Autograd) is writing Dex (https://github.com/google-research/dex-lang), a functional language for array processing. The compiler itself is written in Haskell. JAX is one of the most popular libraries for doing a lot of machine learning these days, along with Tensorflow and PyTorch. You might also want to see the bug in the JAX repo about adding Haskell support, for some context: https://github.com/google/jax/issues/185
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tsalib and dex-lang you can also consider the following projects:
