> can be implemented in a lazy afternoon

Hi, I'm working on making a tensor lib in Rust (think numpy + autodiff) to learn about these topics. There isn't much information online about how projects like numpy and autograd work under the hood.

Do you have any ideas/tips/resources about how it could be done?




Numpy is basically lapack. You'd be hard pressed to replace that with something nearing its performance. For autodiff, I dunno, how about John Mount's explanation?
