I had the same gut reaction, but fortunately it turns out the article is not about a language intended for humans:
“Our backend produces custom kernels for each specific operation on each GPU. It does this through an intermediate language called Tile. Tile is a simple, compact language for describing machine learning operations in a way that can be efficiently implemented on parallel computing architectures.”

Honestly, I do too. But this is just a helper language describing kernels. It actually looks nice.

What's wrong with domain specific languages? SQL is a language for database manipulation, jq is a language for querying JSON, CSS is a language for styling documents, etc.

#6From the Tile tutorial:
> PlaidML uses a language called Tile to construct GPU kernels. When used to express machine learning operations, the Tile language is reasonably close to mathematical notation, while also being amenable to conversion into optimized GPU kernels. In addition, all operations expressed in Tile can be be automatically differentiated.
> Tile and PlaidML are still in early development and the Tile language is actively changing to add new functionality.

#7Interesting language! But, reading the manual, I don't quite understand why they _model_ the syntax to mimic mathematics, but then do things like implicit declaration of indices and renaming standard math functions...

#9Does it apply the same tricks as [0], the Tensor Algebra Compiler from MIT?

it would be more like an SQL for people wanting to do SQL in ML, but its not really what the article is talking about.
i need another language to program machine learning in like i need another hole in my head.
