The goal is to design a general purpose programming language specially tailored to the needs of machine learning.

The special requirements of machine learning include:

• Support for interactive, explorative programming
• Built-in support for data types like matrices, trees, et cetera
• Scaling prototypical implementations to large data sets

Rhabarber tries to be as flexible as possible, and providing powerful features in a seamless manner.

Note that currently there is no support available, though feedback is appreciated. :)
