tensorflow didn't work on 3.7 for a solid 8 months because some people at google very unwisely decided that `async` and `await` were great choices for variable names, despite PEP492 landing in 2015.

that's because tensorflow is advertisement for Google and while it's technically open-source, it doesn't stand for any kind of community-project, it's all there to show off (and ingrain in its users) the way Google wants things to Go (just look at the byzantine Bazel-build-processes - tensorflow taking hours to build and pytorch about 10minutes...).
my torch builds also take hours.

facebook is just as capable of writing hot garbage, sadly.

Yeah, still it's an order of magnitudes faster...
