I find that very abstract software packages like this are difficult to visualize without an example. This page does not offer one, but TFM does -- see [1]. Also note that TFM describes the fact that this is Windows-only. That makes it substantially less interesting, IMO.

I've been running into the idea of computational graphs a lot recently. It's at the core of Tensorflow (and NN in general) but it also comes up for example in Apple's AVFoundation where all audio processing happens in a graph of audio units. Does anyone know what's the theoretical foundation of computational graphs?

EDIT: I've created a wiki page for computational graphs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_Graph. Add your input.

At this rate, are we going to see Windows open-sourced?

MS is on a roll. My bias since 1996 is being eroded with each OSS release they have, and multi-platform targeted support.

I started using VSCode regularly as my main Rust IDE, and I feel dirty for liking it. It's seemless across macOS and Linux.

I don't see MSFT benefiting from open sourcing windows, so likely never.
