Getting stuck in their review / re-categorization process sucks. It’s not transparent, can take awhile, and often the outcome (their choice of category) doesn’t make sense. My experiences were primarily in optics and physics, with a bit of ML.
I wonder if the moderators are somewhat disconnected from the communities that they are moderating. Or, at least, if they are active researchers maybe they aren’t fully aware of all the trends in certain sub fields their area covers.
JAX looks really interesting but it seems that it’s not as straightforward to just JIT things. Generally I think you need to use their flow control mechanisms rather than standard Python ones. There are of course technical reasons for doing so, but this makes me wonder if languages like Julia with packages like Zygote.jl would be nicer for some situations in the long run.
I agree with this. I believe the choice of having them as macros rather than functions was made for performance reasons? However, I think they should be in std lib... having to do 'using Printf' everywhere is silly
