The source code base of GEMMA, however, proves hard to build on. This is why we are creating a next generation tool that has a focus on *performance and hackability*. + +After several attempts using R, D, Julia, python, Ruby we have in 2023 settled on Guile+C+Zig. Guile provides a REPL and great hackabability. C+Zig we'll use for performance. The other languages are all great, but we think we can work faster in this setup. |
