Really interesting post about using Rust and Tensorflow for time-series forecasting! I've been looking for a way to incorporate Rust into my ML workflow and this might be it.

Has anyone done any comparisons of Rust with Python/R for this type of work? I'd be curious to see if the performance benefits of Rust outweigh the ease of use of the other two languages.

I've used Rust for some heavy data processing and was impressed by the performance gains. I'm planning to try it out for some time-series forecasting tasks soon!

Rust does have a bit of a learning curve, but it's definitely worth it for the performance gains. I've been using it for a while now and I have to say I really enjoy working with it.

I agree that the learning curve can be a bit steep, but I'm willing to put in the time if the payoff in performance is worth it. I'm planning to start with the Tensorflow Rust bindings and go from there.

I've used Rust with Tensorflow for image classification tasks and it performed really well. I'm curious to see how it performs for time-series forecasting.

Rust is especially good for high-throughput tasks like time-series forecasting. The language's performance and data processing capabilities make it a great choice for this type of work.

I'm interested in exploring some of the advanced functionality in Tensorflow, like recurrent neural networks and LSTMs, to see how they perform in a Rust environment for time-series forecasting.

That's a great idea, I'd love to see how that works out. I'm also curious about how the Rust bindings handle gradient computation and backpropagation under the hood.

I'm new to Rust, but I'm excited to try it out for time-series forecasting. I'm looking forward to seeing what this community has to say about using Rust and Tensorflow together.
