This might be a good time to ask: my main reservation about TensorFlow is that it's a subset of general purpose computing, so will always be limited to niches like AI or physics simulations or protein folding. If we look at something like MATLAB (or GNU Octave) as general-purpose vector computing, then we need some kind of bridge between the two worlds. I couldn't find much other than this:

Does anyone have any ideas for moving towards something more general?
