This is awesome and I'm sure it will be a boon to app developers who want to include Machine Learning capabilities in their apps.
It looks to me as though Ersatz's focus is on providing a limited range of relatively standard models, but make them highly accessible, stable, fast, and suitable for production, whereas most available frameworks like Theano, PyLearn2, etc are more geared to the tinkering researchers and less to be used in actual products.
