Hey all,

I'm curious about the status of the fuel package and its relationship to blocks and theano.  The coupling between fuel and blocks/theano seems loose (optional?), but given that Theano is near EOL, it would be nice to know how this impacts fuel's development and plans (if at all).

Thanks!

The intent was always to keep Fuel agnostic from Theano and Blocks, though some stuff ended up leaking in via the floatX setting (Dima B. seems to have fixed this now).

I haven't been involved in development for about 18 months (no longer a grad student and a bit of a premium on free time, etc.), and it looks like development has halted for about 6. So I don't think Theano's end of life will pose an issue, but grad students wanting to graduate and getting jobs might, unless new people step up to the plate.
