There's 2 things I'm not so sure about: python as the dominant ecosystem long term and 2: most people doing machine learning yet. I'm still convinced most people just star tensorflow "cuz google". I'd like to see a statistical analysis of people actually using tensorflow for their job. I get the developers bit...but not much of it equates to revenue. Developers don't pay. Period. That devs bit might work for lock in to cloud services (google compute engine). That play doesn't work for on prem though. What's happening here is you're equating startups/cloud to "the whole world" while ignoring where most of the money is being made and how many people are actually using machine learning. I'd love to see this play out more before declaring a "winner". Still seems too early yet. Anyways - as I said we'll see who wins and who doesn't. I won't say whether my guess is absolutely right or wrong. I just don't believe in silicon valley's ability to build "hard stuff". I think we're still very much in the hype phase yet. It might return some day though.
