Release of Nx Library for Numerical Computing in Elixir

José Valim and Sean Moriarity have announced the release of Nx, a new library for numerical computing in Elixir. Nx provides multi-dimensional tensor operations and supports multi-stage compilation to both CPU and GPU. The announcement outlines various features of Nx, including typed tensors, named tensors, automatic differentiation, and the potential for custom tensor backends and compilation targets. The authors also discuss the influence of Python's JAX and NumPy libraries on Nx's design. The post highlights future goals for the Nx project, including better linear algebra support, machine learning tools, and integrations with other numerical computing libraries.
