Building a Neural Network in Rust (From Scratch)

Let's build a neural network from scratch to truly understand how they work. And by scratch, I mean without using any fancy ML or linear algebra libraries. We're going to build a single-layer perceptron, the simplest neural network there is, and then teach it to perform addition.

I'll be using Rust but you can follow along using the JavaScript or Python implementations if that's what you prefer. Code is available here.
