In all honesty, this sounds to me like a whole lot of BS and hype. The name is pretentious, the quotes are ridiculous ("Deep Learning est mort. Vive Differentiable Programming."; "there will be a need for the creation of a whole new set of new tools, such as a new Git, new IDEs, and of course new programming languages"). Maybe I am just ignorant and fail to grasp the importance of such capabilities in a machine learning context, but I have to say, the grandstanding is a bit grating.
Who knows, perhaps this will become the greatest thing since Lisp... What do I know.
