I thought Theano was the first real deep learning implementation. What is the difference between that and tensorflow ?

True, I was more so referencing first implementation to see wide scale adoption. But maybes there some holes in my narrative...

Actually, Torch (2002) is older than Theano (2007). Moreover, both were already used widely in the research community. Tensorflow was actually late in the grand scheme of things, but replaced Theano and to some extend Torch (which used Lua for its public API).

I think it's fairer to say that Tensorflow is the first implementation that had wide adoption outside academia.

The first would be SN/Lush from circa 1987, of which Torch (from NEC Research), and then PyTorch are direct descendants in a lot of ways.
