Step 1: sample Step 2: Run model ...lots of time passes... Step 3: sample from your sample Step 4: GOTO 2

I'm sortof joking, but also not. Specifically Bayesian inference takes forever, and there's no really good way to speed it up (GPU's don't work as well, because the sampling is sequential).

aha, there's some interesting stuff in "productization of Stan" talks from stancon 2018
