TensorFlow doesn't make the algorithms more effective, it just makes them easier to describe, and recently, more quick to train / test. Also, with the kind of predictions Google is making, it's very unlikely that you'd notice improvements, since they would be gradual.

...but if you want to make your algorithms more effective, you'd probably benefit if they were easier to describe, quicker to train and test, and you'd want to take advantage of gradual improvements. Right?

  Not so, for the same reason that low level languages are more effective computationally but less easy to describe and more difficult for code development. Lua is more low level and has an extremely isolated and fractured community relative to the current Python ecosystem. It is also non-intuitive and has negligible benefits compared to the current scientific Python ecosystem. I find the abstractions offered by Python and its standard library to be very easy to comprehend, write, and maintain relative to Lua.

    ..."easier to describe" makes it sound like it's a HIGHER level language, not a lower level language.

  Yes, probably. The improvements would still be gradual, though.
