It could be written in mix of Cobol and APL. No one cares.

People saying "oh those Python libraries are just C/C++ libraries with Python API, every language can have them" have one problem - no other language has them (with such extensive documentation, tutorials etc.)

Tensorflow has extensive documentation of its C++ interface, as that is the primary interface for the library (the Python API is a wrapper on top).

I hoped it was quite obvious that by "other languages" I meant "other than Python and C/C++ in which they are written".

At least sibling actually mentioned Java.

Scroll up this thread and the other poster was asking if you can use pytorch and tensorflow from C. Both are C++ libraries, so accessing them from C/C++ is pretty trivial and has first-class support.

You should read more carefully before responding.

I said "beside Python, and C/C++ in which they are written"

You: "you can see people are using it from C".

What a surprise that library usable from Python through wrapped C API has C API!

PyTorch and Tensorflow also support C++ (naturally) and Java.
