So indeed sequences and mappings and scalars is everything it needs. Maybe I'll actually implement the idea I sketch out in a small independent library.

Definitely before Ruby entered my consciousness as another neat language. I don't really care whether a DSL needs to be Turing complete, but I think many such are used primary declaratively. Mostly though I was pointing out that Keras doesn't need flow and branching for it's model definitions.
