ML with FFI

Suppose you wish to do some machine learning stuff with Deno, would it be optimal to use FFI with C over Rust?

That may be a strange thing to ask but I was just curious as someone who knows less C than Rust. Haven't tried FFI with C so wanted to know if it was worth it.

yep, definitely there's https://github.com/denosaurs/netsaur which has a C backend although much WIP atm but for simple models its performance is on par with tensorflow and even better

Guess I gotta learn some C then

don't really need to, Rust can be used as well

I specifically had that doubt because Netsaur seemed cool and my rust FFI was like 1.7x slower than JS code itself Tho it's mostly just me and my bad code

yea language shouldn't matter here, there must be something with the code

Certainly I guess I'll go try to improve my rust code then Thanks btw

np, and btw make sure your ffi calls go through fast api otherwise they'll be just slow
