As a Pytorch user, I never touch c/cuda code. I never touch cmake. I can work dynamically from python repl. So, again, why should I care how those c/cuda calls are made if I don’t see them?

Because Clojure comes with a platform that supports AOT/JIT compilation out of the box, has several state of the art GC algorithms and in the near future even value types, while offering the same dynamism as Python, with all the capabilities of a Lisp in code manipulation.
