really interesting perspective, as an ex-julia user, can't really argue with the main points. I will say that julia is delightful to use and code in, whereas the article's main point is that rust becomes bearable once you don't have to code yourself, haha.
Disconcerting to see at the end that the blog post is generated. The genre is decidedly “use-my-thing Readme.md” and all current gen LLMs by default jump to shameless lies when they detect that they are writing such a Readme, although they are perfectly capable of working out the truth in a genre like “essay question on which you will be graded by academic standards.”
Are the human “coauthors” lying if I hypothetically go to the crate looking for the promised xla backend and find //TODO implement this?
Everyone is racing to build everything with AI, and displace developer teams, why should we expect the same people would behave differently when writing blog posts?
This kind of regular complaint on HN and Reddit is really strange.
"Look what I did with Claude!", no Claude did it.
"Buah the blog post is AI generated", of course it is, everyone and their dog are using AI now.

Plus it looks like they have support for dynamic shapes: https://tensor4all.org/tenferro-rs/design/dynamic-symbolic-s...
If you need to extend it, you'll have to write custom Autodiff rules with the ergonomics of a Rust front-end and a JAX-like backend. :(
