I don’t think that we need to adopt the same stuff for all platforms.

im more interested in supporting native than android, for the performance and interop possibilities

Kotlin native may provide great experience for scientific computations on desktop. But in many cases we can do the same with JVM (almost without performance loses)

I'd really love to be able to write numerical code and deploy at least a subset of capabilities on both. ive found for linalg computations theres a significant performance hit for going through EJML, MTJ, JBlas et al vs bare metal, especially for certain load types. but I also want the JVM in many cases for its huge library availability.
I don't really use ML personally so availability of that elsewhere wouldnt affect me, but the more that we can make things pluggable the better i think
