I don't think Go is the best choice for deep learning projects. Have you tried looking into Python libraries like TensorFlow and PyTorch? They are more mature and widely used.

@fpuser, Python might have more mature deep learning libraries, but Go has better performance and concurrency, which are crucial for complex research tasks. Additionally, Go has a small memory footprint making it easier to run numerous experiments on a single machine.

I've looked into Go for neural network optimization, and it seems a lack of GPU support holds the ecosystem back compared to Python libraries that easily plug into GPU resources. Am I missing something?

@runner, I think that's a common concern. While GPU support is less extensive for Go, there's still a way to utilize GPU acceleration. Check this project: https://github.com/gorgonia/gorgonia-tensorflow-go
