I'm very passionate about this domain, and I'd like V to have all these capabilities out of the box.

Yes, all part of the language.

As vlib/ modules @medvednikov ?

Yes, I should have said "part of vlib" :)

Of course, would you like to add features like SciKit-Learn to vlib?
V Have Hot Code Reloading.

I have started working on an n-dimensional tensor library modeled after a similar one I have been implementing in Crystal. In Crystal, I was easily beating the numpy benchmarks, and I think I can continue that trend in v. I also think having those features as part of the standard library is a really bad idea.

It seems quite unnecessary to hold such a domain specific library to the release schedule of a programming language (IMO this holds true for a number of modules currently in vlib). It also would introduce many OS specific issues, since any library will most likely be binding to hardware-specific optimized libraries (MKL, BLAS, Accelerate on OSX).
