I guess it's still work in progress, but they are probably aiming to achieve something in the direction of the scientific Python stack (i.e. Jupyter, TensorFlow and the like). Maybe starting with a subset of methods useful in ML.

It will be interesting to see how this scientific JS toolchain evolves. Would be fun to get a more feature-complete Propel ML working with Mike Bostock's Observable project:

Seems to be quite far away. IIRC, there are a lot of immature, scattered math libs for JS.

Most of the ML libs I've seen are proof-of-concept, like brain.js or synapse. Those libs seem to implement basic perceptrons and other textbook examples, but not much else.
