If NVIDIA really continues to back this, and follows through on wrapping other libraries like cuDNN, it could be a whole new level of vendor lock in as people start writing code that targets CUDA Python. I think the real test will be whether one of the big projects like PyTorch or TensorFlow gets on board.
