We are going to interop with keras with our scala api: https://github.com/deeplearning4j/Scalnet

That will allow us to benefit from what that community is building in terms of neural networks. We want to be the "deployment path" for those kinds of models while we focus on making c++ on the jvm as fast as possible.

We basically focus on the hadoop and spark crowd. We're already the industry standard in java/scala:
