You might be interested in [Likely](http://liblikely.org/), the programming language I've been working on. One of its core tenants is that "training == compilation". I haven't given much thought to departures from von Neumann style architectures, but with emerging/de-facto standards like OpenCL and LLVM I don't see any reason why, at least for computer vision algorithms (my domain) we can't train/compile to FPGA.

Since I am seeing this a lot lately, you probably meant tenet. Tenant means something entirely different.
