Are there any resources that use languages other than python? I would prefer to work with code examples in a language that I might actually use.

Maybe not as comprehensive or approachable:

Julia: https://juliadiff.org/ChainRulesCore.jl/stable/FAQ.html#Wher...? (bottom)

OCaml: https://ocaml.xyz/book/

If you're doing machine learning, python is a very viable language to actually use.

Not to me it isn’t.

Almost all neural network frameworks are Python based, so you're severely limiting yourself here.

What language do you use?

No! You must respect the Python ML monoculture! Now hand me my set of MNIST digit images!

> that I might actually use

The only language that you might actually use is Python.
