^This. As we're seeing here in the discussion thread Python folks don't really realize what they're missing when we're talking about composability of of libraries in Julia - it's kind of difficult to explain the impact on productivity without people actually trying it out. I think Julia and Flux are getting to the point where they're quite useable and comparable with PyTorch. Also some of the Neural ODE stuff and differentiable programming in SciML seems just a lot easier to implement than it would be in Python.
