@blueberry I'm a Numpy user, were you thinking about replicating the same benchmarks in the series with it?

@blueberry, can you explain a bit why random is defn'd within a let?

(let [splittable-random (SplittableRandom.)]
  (defn random ^double [^double _]
    (.nextDouble ^SplittableRandom splittable-random)))

@aaelony probably to close over the instance of SplittableRandom. The function needs to reuse the instance every time it's called

@justalanm Yes, the same benchmarks, but not necessarily just that. Everything related to matrix computations with Numpy where speed is important and you think that comparison would be interesting.

@justalanm 👍

I just made an #mxnet channel if anyone is interested in joining
