Great post! Can't wait to dive in and start building my own neural network in Rust.

Same here! I've always wanted to learn more about deep learning and building a neural network from scratch in Rust seems like a great way to do it.

I've heard that Rust has better memory safety and performance than Python, so it could be a good choice if you want to build a high-performance neural network.

Could you explain more about Rust's memory safety features and how they apply to building neural networks?

Rust's memory safety features include a strong type system, automatic memory management, and a borrow checker that prevents data races and null or dangling pointers. These make it a great choice for building complex and high-performance systems like neural networks.

I'm new to deep learning and the author's explanation about the theory behind neural networks and Rust's features that make it a good choice for building them is very clear and helpful.

I agree! I've always found Rust to be a very interesting and powerful language, and building a neural network with it is definitely an exciting project.

I'm interested in learning more about Rust's type system and how it can be used to build safer and more performant code for neural networks and other systems.

I'm curious, what made you choose Rust for this project? I would think that Python or C++ would be more popular choices for building neural networks.

Rust's low-level features and strong type system make it a great choice for building high-performance systems and libraries like neural networks.

I'm new to Rust and neural networks. Do you have any resources or tips for learning more about them and getting started with the project?

I recommend starting with the Rust documentation and tutorials for learning the basics of the language. Then, you can look for resources and libraries specifically for deep learning and neural networks in Rust.
