#2If this tickles your fancy check this out
you implement your own universal probabilistic language embedded in js.
Re: Probabilistic Programming
#3This is really cool and would definitely be something I would've loved to study if I had ever went into academic computer science. Shameless plug: a few years ago (actually, more like 6), I wrote a for-fun (zero-instruction) probabilistic VM to mess around with[1][2].

#4Heh, I just started doing some searching on probabilistic programming about an hour ago. Funny how that works.
Since it's on subject here - anybody know of any good clojure libraries or resources for probabilistic programming? Anglican definitely looks good, but their intro pages use some kinda strange workflows.

Stan [1] has a modelling dsl, and multiple language interfaces. It also uses a state of the art, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Markov Chain model which is significantly faster than other MCMCs.
A good introductory tutorial video is [2]

Re: Probabilistic Programming
#9Hakaru [0] is another cool probabilistic programming language.
If you like functional programming, probabilistic functional programming might also be interesting for you. I'd recommend reading Practical Probabilistic Programming with Monads [1], and checking out monad-bayes [2] which builds on the ideas discussed in the paper.

Re: Probabilistic Programming
#10I'm aware of Stan - does it cover what probabilistic programming is about or is there more to it?
