For Jax I believe this is false.

Jax is composable. In fact it’s a core design goal. Jax arrays implement the Numpy API. I routinely drop Jax arrays into other python libraries designed for Numpy. It works quite well. It’s not effortless 100% of the time but no library interop is (including Julia multiple dispatch).

I can introspect Jax. Until you wrap your function with jit(foo) it’s as introspectable as any other Python code, at least if I’m understanding what you mean by introspection.

Jax has implemented most of the Numpy functions, certainly most of the ones anyone needs to use on a regular basis. I rarely find anything missing. And if it is, I can write it myself, in python, and have it work seamlessly with the rest of Jax (autodiff, jit, etc)
