Thanks the for the comments, which I largely agree with.

I understand your design philosophy and agree its a useful point in the
space to have.

One question:

Is it possible to feed Neanderthal's matrix representation (the underlying
bytes) into one of these other libraries, to obtain
computations Neanderthal doesn't support?

My situation: Neanderthal covers some of the algorithms I'd like to
implement. It looks easier to get started with and understand than the
alternatives. But down the line I'll likely want to do convolution,
sigmoid, the typical Neural Network layers. Note, I don't care about
'tensors' exactly; the bookkeeping to simulate a tensor can be automated,
but the fundamental operations cannot. So there is a question of whether to
just absorb the learning curve and shortcomings of these more general
libraries rather than to risk switching horses midstream.

I imagine I'm not alone in this.. if there was a straightforward story for
how to interop Neanderthal when necessary with some more general library
that would be powerful. Unfortunately I'm not sufficiently expert to
evaluate which of the choices would be most pragmatic and how to pull it
off.
