> b) TensorFlow makes methods development so much easier that it's worth the loss of performance Indeed, if TensorFlow means I can try out an idea with 1 day of coding and 2 days of training rather than 3 days of coding and 1 day of training then I can spend a day drinking cocktails and reading books and still be finished sooner. Based on the tutorials it seems like I'd be able to pretty quickly build a translation pipeline, and in fact there's an implementation of that I think I'll try. If it takes a week or two to train, that's fine by me, I've got other things to be getting on with.
