"Genera's design philosophy holds that no action of the software should be hidden from the designer"

So refreshing and edgy even to this day.

Also says a lot about the "New Jersey" model that CS as a whole pivoted to (see UNIX haters handbook), where every damn thing is hard , opaque and/or hidden, either in propreitary blobs, or not much differently, in complex unreliable build systems, and binary blobs.

A bit sad that we're moving back out of this religious dogma of the 70s with half-baked lisps like Python etc.

Cupy was first but at this point you're better of using JAX.

Has a much larger community, a big push from Google Research, and unlike PFN's Chainer (of which CuPy is the computational base), is not semi-abandoned.

Kind of sad to see CuPy/Chainer eco-system die: not only did they pioneer the PyTorch programming model, but also stuck to Numpy API like JAX does (though the AD is layered on top in Chainer IIRC).
