I agree, it sounds really useful! I gave a shot at AD in OCaml a couple of
months ago, with inspiration coming from F#'s autodiff by Barak Pearlmutter
http://diffsharp.github.io/DiffSharp/. I got to a working implementation of
forward/reverse/forward-on-reverse but I really struggled with the complexity of
the functorial interface I needed to achieve compositionality -- lack of
operator overloading somehow makes life difficult here. So really curious to see
Markus Mottl's solution. Happy to share my code with anyone interested though.
best,
Guillaume
