From a very brief look Theano is an expression evaluator. It optimizes expressions, it does not solve numerical optimization problems.

I think it can be used as a backend in Ceres to push computations to the GPU, but as it stands it is a different category of software than Ceres.

We have conditionals overloaded which allow you to compare with other jets, and doubles, which boil down to a comparison with the "value" part of the jet.

So conditionals are not a problem. Loops I would stay away from, since they would destroy the inlining. But if you have an example of a dynamic loop, we would like to hear about it.
