A comment on First-Class Automatic Differentiation in Swift.

Re:First-Class Automatic Differentiation in Swift by dep_b on Monday October 22, 2018 @12:49PM (#18276216)
I come from business programming in Swift (the usual CRUD API based stuff) and for me I completely get lost reading this once the formulas kick in. I have this problem as well when reading about more theoretical algorithm articles. Usually when I see the resulting code I do get it but I feel I miss out on a lot of theory.

Can anybody help me grok the more theoretical stuff in this article?
