Beware: This is a work in progress on a highly experimental prototype. Do not expect backward compatibility, performance nor correctness.
Tensority is an experience in designing a library for strongly-typed multidimensional arrays and tensors manipulation. Tensority aims to cover three levels of compile-time safety:
-
tensor order level:
- the type of multidimensional arrays should distinguish between arrays of different dimensions
- the type of tensor should moreover distinguish between an vector and 1-form,
i.e between
(1 + 0)tensor and(0 + 1)tensors
-
dimension level:
- adding two vectors of different dimensions should be a type error
-
index level
- trying to access the
k+1th elements of an array of sizekshould be an error
- trying to access the
Each level of safety restricts the number of functions implementable using tensority safe interface. However, non-trivial functions can still be implemented using this safe interface.
With the included ppx extension, tensority looks like:
