TensorFlow to support Keras API

I found this interesting blog post by Rachel Thomas. My favorite quote:

Using TensorFlow makes me feel like I’m not smart enough to use TensorFlow; whereas using Keras makes me feel like neural networks are easier than I realized. This is because TensorFlow’s API is verbose and confusing, and because Keras has the most thoughtfully designed, expressive API I’ve ever experienced. I was too embarrassed to publicly criticize TensorFlow after my first few frustrating interactions with it. It felt so clunky and unnatural, but surely this was my failing. However, Keras and Theano confirm my suspicions that tensors and neural networks don’t have to be so painful.
