Machine learning. What lib is that?

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

TensorFlow, probably.

u/CherimoyaChump May 11 '22

I don't know much ML, but I believe this guy talks about implementing a neural network with JavaScript to play Pokémon:

lmao, OP has no idea what React is!

u/True_Scorpio23 May 11 '22

ReactAi, similar to ReactJS, but for AI using machine learning algorithms and code. After installing your neural networks will be able to “react” to their inputs! /s

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

Declarative intelligence. Just state your intention and the diffing algorithm will provide.

1

u/fii0 May 11 '22

ReactAi, similar to ReactJS, but uses AI to generate styles, classNames and event listener functions for all of your HTML elements only at runtime. It's as easy as never using props again!

(Plz someone make this)

u/ZuriPL May 11 '22

But react is used for front-end for AIs, which is already a category

2

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

I mean, yes, you can build the front end with React and interact with your ML libraries, but is there a library out there that prevents you from using ML in your code? That's what you should call out, or every single library that you can use during your study of ML, not just React specifically.

u/rubenthedev May 11 '22

Please elaborate, how is React ML?

u/RobertKerans May 11 '22

React applications can be written in Reason. Reason is a syntax extension for OCAML. OCAML is a language that extends the Caml dialect of ML. ML (Meta Language) is the same abbreviation as ML (Machine Learning). Ipso facto React is ML!

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

Your science is bulletproof. I am convinced and will be adding "ML expert" to my resume tonight.

u/RobertKerans May 11 '22 edited May 12 '22

In addition to that on the legal side of things you may have heard of "Appwoods Law" which mandates that by 2026 all apps be made of React (so all mobile and desktop apps). I think FrontEnd and BackEnd AreAlsoCategorisedAsTypesOfApps SoTheyProbablyCountAsWell, but IANAL

You can do just about anything in JS but should you?

u/obeythefro May 12 '22

They got so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should!

Never to late to learn a new language. In any way shape or form

u/kim_en May 12 '22

so I should learn python or javascript?

u/keyrol1222 May 11 '22

The image is pretty much correct, but i find funny that op think react is a ml library.

HAHA I can do everything w JavaScript now.

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

While quite true, all these different frameworks and libraries make it feel like you are learning a dozen languages.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '24

Fr fr. If just JavaScript had as many libraries for python when it comes to data science tho 😞

This is why I like javascript, it's easy to use with multiple different usages.

Can't wait for c# to replace it

u/Castiel_D37 May 11 '22

I am new at this and actually I don't know what language should I learn. Java or C++? Please help me

u/[deleted] May 11 '22

Javascript, Elm, Rust. Maybe Clojure.

Can it be used for backed? Sure. Would it be my first choice? Probably not, there are better choices out there.

I appreciate the attitude, but you've gotta come correct if you're going to implement it. Keep learning, you'll get there eventually. Maybe lay off the python, it kinda sucks.

u/CreativeCamp May 12 '22

Always a good idea to be 100% sure that you're right before putting laying on the condescension.

Machine Learning not yet, but just wait some time

Bull. Machine learning is possible in any programming language. I wrote a learning a.i. for a game in javascript about 10 years ago.

u/first_timeSFV Oct 01 '23

Now it is. Lots of LLM and generative art models like stable diffusion utilize javascript.

u/TheUruz May 12 '22

wait for python to be used instead of js for scripting webpages, then build a framework on it and we'll see what will be preferred for everything.

indeed: it's not YET used for this purpose because as you say it's too slow atm but i'm pretty optimistic it will be preferrable one day :)

Is electron really that poorly optimized? I was gonna try and learn electron next but it seems like learning Swift/C# would be better to make desktop apps.

same. I've got like 6 VSCode windows open and not having any issues. At the same time I have like 10 browser windows open each with at least 3 tabs open and at most 15-20 tabs. I have other programs open too. I just don't think VSCODE is bad

There are so many alternatives to Electron. Try literally ANYTHING else.
