I’m looking into using owl-base for manipulating arrays. To avoid the dependencies I wanted to stay away from full-fledged owl. Is there an ergonomic way to use owl-base on its own? In the API all I could find was a large collection of low-level functions…

The API is messy because it allows for so many different kinds of arrays. What you want is here . owl-base is great on its own.

thanks! I guess I open that module then? Still it seems the full Owl has an easier to navigate API, and I wonder if it would not be possible to give Owl-base the same user-facing convenience? [EDIT] Sorry for just uttering wishes here, but I think that factoring out from owl-base a numpy-like libr…

Incidentally, is there a Format compatible pretty printer for arrays or matrices in Owl-base somewhere? I only found a print function which did not seem to interface with a formatter.

After some hours I feel like an archaeologist of some sort digging for usable bits. At last, by comparing with full Owl, I found that the Owl_base_dense_ndarray.Operator module apparently does not have the slicing syntax, which Owl_dense_ndarray.Operator has. Also, I did not find a way to use the fu…

It’s definitely not intuitive. I feel like Owl took too much on, rather than focusing on something specific like a numpy for OCaml.

Using Owl-Base only?
