Show HN: Axiom – C++ tensor library with NumPy API and Metal GPU support

I've been building a C++ tensor library that tries to bring the ergonomics of NumPy/PyTorch to native code. The main goals were: - Familiar API (operator overloading, method chaining, same function names) - Actual GPU acceleration via Metal (not just matmul, but all ops) - Cross-platform with SIMD on x86/ARM/RISC-V via xsimd - einops-style rearrange/reduce patterns

It started because I wanted NumPy's API but needed to deploy on edge devices without Python. Ended up going deeper than expected (28k LOC+) into BLAS backends, memory views, and GPU kernels.

Some things I'm genuinely unsure about and would love feedback on: - Does Axiom actually seem useful? - What features might make you use it?

Happy to answer questions about the implementation.
