I mean… sort of. It’d be like trying to write an ML stack in lisp circa 2023. Sure, you can find devs willing to learn it, but it’ll be at least two orders or magnitude easier to find python devs.

I love lisp, but the thought of being forced to use it exclusively for ML makes me uneasy. And I’ve tried building lisp ML stacks. :)

I’d probably use Hy and JAX, :)

Should be beautiful.

Beautiful perhaps, but not productive for ML engineers who are joining the team and familiar with the standard stack.

Sure, they can be retrained, but I feel that there’s a real cost to this, and it’s too tempting to handwave it away as “they should just learn.”
