Show HN: Fluent, tiny lang for reactivity and autograd (mlajtos.github.io)

6 points by mlajtos ↗ HN
After six months of work, I am here again presenting Fluent – a tiny lang which is optimized for differentiable & reactive programming.

Since I am not Conal Elliot, don't expect a beautiful theoretical unification of FRP and AD from first principles. Rather, a horrific monster that holds together mostly because a lot of duct-tape.

The link points to the semi-interactive tour of the language, which will get the job done much better than I could in here.

Hope you hate/like it!

Was this just for fun/practice or are you trying to solve some problem/do something more efficiently? Surely, there are languages the calculate exact derivatives already?
