I've only seen Edward for the first time today, and it looks quite nice. Could you (or anyone else) comment on why would you choose Edward over something PyMC3

  I had the same question when I was first choosing libraries for my current project! So I put together this comparison of PyMC3, Edward, and Stan. It's jut doing bayesian inference on the location and scale of data sampled from a normal distribution. Super simple, but highlights the differences between the libraries. https://github.com/cshenton/normal-comparison https://github.com/cshenton/normal-comparison Having worked with Edward, the LOC difference is deceptive. Edward has really solid abstract base classes, so developing on it is much more expressive for larger projects. I unequivocally recommend using Edward.
