Viral, how far away are we from a deep learning framework in Julia ? It looks like there are many streams, from GSoC mentoring proposal for what seemed like a CuDNN layer, to a LLVM backend for CUDA/SPIR-V. I figure it'll take atleast 2 years for things to stabilize.

Data is generally not "racist", it is what it is.

Indeed! Thank you for all the great work.
I was aware of large-scale project a few years back called FOSSEE (centered at IITB) which was promoting Python and Scilab. I'm not sure if they're still alive or whether they've run out of funds. Prabhu Ramachandran (of the Mayavi fame) was one of the key people behind it. Seems like something they ought to be funding.
Anyway, kudos to Simons foundation for funding Julia's development.
