I didn't know about his past feat. Couldn't find the lisp framework you mention but there's this https://lush.sourceforge.net/faq.html

(trivia, he's also behind djvu format)

Lush was really great back then. He often criticizes Python openly.

Personally, I also feel a bit sad the ecosystem has become a Python monoculture.

Lua was much nicer. Let's hope this book sparks some interest in alternative languages for ML.

I'm really surprised that Haskell didn't take off here. Strong types, plus lazy evaluation that seems perfect for orchestrating asynchronous GPU operations.

That's the one!

oh right, he mentions machine learning somewhere, naive me thought it was just a cute lisp repl that can also compile c for perf.
