Clear, nice write-up and summary of NEAT
From 2 comments
Very nice write-up. Several years ago, I took a graduate class that covered NEAT and ended up doing a little project [0] to see if you could apply similar ideas (recurrent nets…
tansey on HNNice summary of NEAT. Given Neuro Evolution evolves efficient structure, this suggests training NEAT on a dataset produced by pre-trained deep networks could distill highly…

Objections
Claim that JavaScript is best for deep learning is unsupported (possibly sarcasm)

"Forget Torch, Tensorflow, and Theano. I decided to implement Backprop NEAT in Javascript, because it is considered the best language for Deep Learning according to the Data…
danjoc on HNI think it was meant to be sarcasm. Kind of like http://www.deepexcel.net/

NEAT may be too slow to compete with deep Q networks on visual signals

Back in 2009, I have implmemted NEAT in c#, and applied it to solve Torcs CIG2009 challenge. It worked well, but took a lot of time to train (reinforcement learning). IMO neat…
