I've been learning about neural networks lately and implemented mines in golang. The biggest problem I had was that python is not chosen randomly: neural networks scientists use it because of numpy. Most importantly, numpy makes it really easy to deal with matrices (~ array of arrays). You just make operations on them as if they were classic numbers (so, you can do `a + b`, where both a and b are matrices). While translating it into other languages not having numpy is indeed possible, expect a bit of intellectual gymnastic. I don't know which language you targeted, but for those who wish to use golang, I made this matrix library: https://github.com/oelmekki/matrix https://github.com/oelmekki/matrix EDIT: oh, btw. I'm initially a ruby dev. I've learnt python just enough to be able to understand NNs code, that was easy (took me an afternoon). I won't pretend this makes me a python developer, but learning just enough to translate code in an other langage is straightforward.
