I’m unreasonably excited to share this library that we’re open-sourcing today — our team has been building it for five years and these ideas have been a passion of mine for fifteen. SymForce is a library that makes it easy to code a problem once in Python with an augmented SymPy API (backed by C++), experiment with it symbolically, generate optimized code in C++ or any backend language, and then run highly efficient nonlinear optimization problems based on the original problem definition. This workflow elegantly solves a wide variety of tasks in robotics and related domains, and…</p><p>125 points; 17 discussion replies on HN. <a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2204.07889/">Paper and source history</a>.
