Was this just for fun/practice or are you trying to solve some problem/do something more efficiently? Surely, there are languages the calculate exact derivatives already?

  Fluent is attacking multiple problems.
  On the surface, it blends APL and LISP. Making S/M-exprs terse and building “diamondless” left-to-right APL on top.
  In core, unification of FRP and AD as already mentioned. This is mainly to do efficient online/incremental learning.
  Fun and curiosity is the main motivator. Having single system that can do user-editable explorable ML exlanations is just cherry on top.
