There are a bunch of packages exploring ideas around labelled dimensions, although we are still far from the vision of caring as little as we do about registers: * https://github.com/JuliaArrays/AxisArrays.jl * https://github.com/davidavdav/NamedArrays.jl * https://github.com/invenia/NamedDims.jl * https://github.com/rafaqz/DimensionalData.jl * https://github.com/ITensor/ITensors.jl While these don't pass dimension labels along in the type, there are also a number of Einsum-like packages which should work on any storage order, and could be taught to interface with such types: * https://github.com/Jutho/TensorOperations.jl * https://github.com/under-Peter/OMEinsum.jl * https://github.com/mcabbott/TensorCast.jl
In Julia v1.2

There's also a lot of work going on in that direction right now. I'd check out NamedDims.jl[1] and AxisArrays.jl[2]. This approach is more similar to an EinSum type apprach than you seem to realize though. The main difference between this sort of approach and the approach in an EinSum esque package is that these packages actually encode the name of the dimensions in the type signature of the array whereas an Einsum-esque approach, the names are just temporary labels for the purposes of the macro call.
