All of this is wrong. Numpy does not depend on fortran code and TF and theano implement their arithmetic without fortran code.

    $ pip show tensorflow theano
    
    Name: tensorflow
    Version: 0.7.1

    Requires: six, protobuf, wheel, numpy

    Name: Theano
    Version: 0.8.2
    ...
    Requires: six, scipy, numpy
You are right that arithmetic in both of them is not written on Fortran, but the packages do use NumPy as you can see in the pip output.
