Make causact more generic #42

Open marcora opened 2 years ago

marcora commented 2 years ago

Is there a plan to make causact more generic? By that I mean entertaining two scenarios:

1) Make causact able to generate static plots for any kind of generative DAG, i.e., not restricted to the node types currently supported by Greta

2) Make causact able to generate (and possibly run) code for other PPLs (i.e., Stan, Numpyro, Turing.jl, etc). Perhaps a plugin architecture could be devised so that interested parties could develop code translation plugins for their PPL of choice.

Keep up the good work!!! :)

we have drafted code in the past for Stan and Turing, so this type of request can be made to work. Currently, our bandwidth does not allow us to support multiple platforms. I will leave this open as a reminder that this would be desirable.

I am hoping the next release of greta, due out soon, will smooth out some installation issues for those users who are stuck on that hurdle.

Thanks for the encouragement!
