Who's the numpy competitor?

R? Eigen? Neanderthal? HMatrix?

(Yes, none of these are exactly 1:1 equivalent with numpy, but there absolutely are options. And from my point of view, having some options which aren’t tied to Python is healthy).

Thanks for mentioning Neanderthal! http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org http://github.com/uncomplicate/neanderthal

It aims to have more features, and more speed than numpy, with Clojure, on the JVM + Nvidia + AMD + Intel.

Also relevant here is Bayadera, Clojure/GPU Bayesian modeling lib for the JVM: http://github.com/uncomplicate/bayadera

Bayadera looks very cool. Do you have any examples involving complex hierarchical models, and performance vs Stan or PyMC?

[dragandj]

Yes. See https://github.com/uncomplicate/bayadera/tree/master/test/cl...

Thanks!

Thanks, I'd somehow missed Bayadera. Something else to take a good look at!
