> At your contrary, I love the graph.

Can you explain what you like so much about manipulating graphs, over just writing statements like z= x⋆y, where ⋆ is some tensor operation?

Really, the graph makes me feel like I'm stacking Lego bricks with chopsticks, rather than with my bare hands ;)

The fact that I have all the computation described in a coherent manner, in something that's agnostic to the language I'm using.

The same description (the graph) can be taken and used in every other language. I can move a trained model to production just picking a single file (a `tf.train.SavedModel` IIRC), give it a tag and I'm ready to go, with different models with a native support for the "tagging" (hence the model versioning).

Whether that's an advantage depends on your perspective, because what has really happened is that you have now created a new language inside the original language.
