Agreed that Java is an obnoxious language. I think originally the grandparent and I were talking about Clojure, which uses the Java library ecosystem, and I started talking about Java libs.

Clojure is certainly the context I'd use Java's machine learning libraries in.

Well then, instead of putting words in his mouth like "exactly the same", go down his list.

> - Is there a mature tensor/multidimensional array library in Clojure? Is there a Dataframe library?

Is there one in Java? If so, what?

And so on with his other items. It doesn't have to be exactly the same (offering him the benefit of the doubt), but it has to offer substantially the same functionality with substantially the same performance. So, you want to use Java libraries from Clojure? Go for it. Where are the things he needs?

Not sure what they cover, but there are surely libraries available,

Also since Pytorch 1.4 there is initial support for Java, built on top of the new pure C++ API.
