ComplexDiff.jl
I can't believe it's not real autodiff
Say you like finite differences, but dislike how they succumb to catastrophic cancellation. Define
math
f^\prime(x_0) \equiv \lim_{h\to 0} \textrm{Im}\left(\frac{f(x_0+i h)}{h}\right),
instead of the usual
math
f^\prime(x_0) \equiv \lim_{h\to 0} \left(\frac{f(x_0 + h) - f(x_0 - h)}{2h}\right),
where $i^2 = -1$ and $\textrm{Im}(z)$ the imaginary part of $z$.
If you plot it, you get something like

whereas the complex difference scheme as described in Squire and Trapp or Nick Higham's blog will give you

where the lack of subtraction will let you have accurate approximations even when $x_0 = 10^-100$.
WIP: This package implements that approach, and bridges your Julian experience via DifferentiationInterface.jl and ADTypes.jl.
