Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

You might want to check out Nim-lang (3 options for deep-learning, Arraymancer being the most popular and active) (also considering how much AI stuff is on Python, you can call Nim code from Python via Nimpy)

I mostly just find it the most intuitive (for the performance/capability it offers) though, as in I haven't done much (certainly not AI stuff) and can't tell you if it's the best for functional programming (other than that Nim takes inspiration from Lisp). Though I do see that some Nim users have said it's not purely functional (it may be on you to make sure your code is) and that other options might be better if it's a priority.
