Hmm, it looks like there are comparisons between it and chainer, 
pytorch, and tensorflow. It might be interesting to compare it to 
some other static autograd libraries. The only one I can think of 
off the top of my head is Stan's [1], though that's designed more 
for probabilistic programming than neural networks.
