Hi @stecrotti, congrats on the package registration!
Just wanted to check if you were aware of the existence of RxInfer.jl?

Hi @gdalle! I think I'd seen it some time ago but wasn't on my mind when I wrote the "see also" section in the readme. Ours is meant to be lightweight and easy to use for quick implementations of BP starting from the graph and the factors, there is little code which i hope is transparent.
I've been reading the docs and the source code for RxInfer and ReactiveMP. They are of course much richer but also i find less accessible for a first time user. For example it's not clear to me how to do plain BP without being in an inference context.
