ShapeScript makes tensor shapes part of the language

A typed tensor language that checks named axes and sizes, then compiles to Python using PyTorch.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.
For
PyTorch developers working with tensor shapes
Worth noticing
One example shows attention code returning a plausible output shape while tokens attend to the wrong positions; ShapeScript flags the axis-pattern mismatch.

Field notes

The examples pair runnable-looking PyTorch snippets with ShapeScript versions and named checker errors, including cases where the PyTorch code returns a plausible result despite a mistake. The syntax names axes directly, and the page shows inferred shapes at line ends. It also describes importing .ss files from Python and a VS Code extension; the homepage labels the release beta 0.1.2b1.
