TensorFlow 2 review: Easier machine learning

The importance of machine learning and deep learning is no longer in doubt. After decades of promise, hype, and disappointment, both have led to practical applications. We haven't gotten to the point where machine learning or deep learning applications are perfect, but many are very good indeed. Of all the excellent machine learning and deep learning frameworks available, TensorFlow is the most mature, has the most citations in research papers (even excluding citations from Google employees), and has the best story about use in production. It may not be the easiest framework to learn, but it's much less intimidating than it was in 2016.
