Dex is an experimental research programming language from Google Research for typed, functional array processing in the Haskell/ML family. It explores type systems for array programming, program transformations like differentiation, and compilation to parallel hardware.
Use cases
- explore type systems for array programming
- differentiate and integrate programs mathematically
- compile numerical code to parallel hardware like GPUs
- interactive incremental numerical programming and visualization
- write functional array-processing prototypes
- run examples like MCMC, ODE integrators, and ray tracers
When to choose
- you are researching type systems or language design for array programming
- you want a functional language with built-in differentiation for numerical experiments
- you need user-directed compilation to parallel hardware in a research setting
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready language with ecosystem and tooling support
- you want stable, bug-free numerical computing for real applications
- you prefer mainstream array tools like NumPy or JAX with large communities
