Okay. Humor me. I want to write a transformer-based classifier for a project. I am accustomed to the pytorch and tensorflow libraries. What is the equivalent using C?

You do know that tensorflow was written in C++ and the Python API bolted on top?

It could be written in mix of Cobol and APL. No one cares.

People saying "oh those Python libraries are just C/C++ libraries with Python API, every language can have them" have one problem - no other language has them (with such extensive documentation, tutorials etc.)

I am. Are you suggesting that as an alternative to the python bindings i should use C to invoke the C++ ABI for tensorflow?
