Read original comment ↗Linear Logic is amazing-ly useful, [LINK] Rust [0] wouldn't exist without it. Oddly enough, I think the next discontinuity in programming language design will be in making it easier to construct anytime [1], incremental [2] and succinct [3] programs. There is a tyranny of poor tolerancing that we currently have a very hard time from escaping. Is it that differentiable programs can be made sloppy in a way that a non-differentiable one can't? Have you looked at the research of using DNN for physics simulations? [4] [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [LINK] [4] [VIDEO]
