Great follow-up to “I don’t like NumPy”, it’s always better to show by example how things could be better. Minor nit, it would be nice if the different code samples at the end were displayed side-by-side somehow. Also wondering if the assert x.ndim == 1 in softmax_dumpy somehow meaningful? The other examples, including “DumPy (alternate)”, don’t have that check.
At one point, I actually had some (LLM-generated) boxes where you could click to switch between the different implementations for the same problem. But in the end I didn’t like how it looked, so I switched to simple expandy-boxes. Design is hard…
There’s no magical significance to the assert x.ndim==1 check. I think I just wanted to demonstrate that the softmax code was “simple” and didn’t have to think about high dimensions. I think I’ll just remove that, thanks.
