Candle: Torch Replacement in Rust
It&#x27;s cool that this is coming from huggingface and it isn&#x27;t just someone&#x27;s hobby project.<p>Rust is in a weird place where people are trying to push it in a bunch of places where it doesn&#x27;t belong naturally (web dev, data science) but then when you complain that it&#x27;s difficult to use you get told that you&#x27;re using the wrong language for your use case...<p>I really want to like Rust - I&#x27;ve read the Rust book, done the Rustling exercises, read Zero to Production in Rust and did the project there, and still it&#x27;s not clicking - writing Rust is a slog where you have to jump through hoops and spend a lot more time thinking about programming language abstractions than thinking about the problem you&#x27;re solving.<p>So I&#x27;m not in a rush to rewrite anything written in Python just yet.
