We are adding this now to our tensor library:
https://github.com/deeplearning4j/nd4j/pull/1750
I've also added numpy interop via our new python interface jumpy:
https://github.com/deeplearning4j/jumpy
We are doing a lot more than autograd though, this is going to support dynamic computation graphs, give you direct access to a graph data structure and will later be usable from nd4s (our scala wrapper)
Rather than spending time going back and forth implementing all of those things you could just pitch in with our existing efforts (hint: you'd actually be getting something done rather than debating ;))
We have a parameter server for word2vec, various kinds of optimizers and the like:https://github.com/deeplearning4j/nd4j/tree/master/nd4j-para...
I'd also just like to note for anyone else reading this: Mulling over doing something helps no on

If you see something that's open source that's close to what you want try engaging the authors to see what they have to say. Maybe they will guide you. We've done that recently for our lapack integration with cpu and gpu as well as various neural net implementations.
No offense but it kills me to see comments like this. I see tons of people complaining about features yet doing nothing to add them let alone engaging open source authors.
It's kinda funny - every time someone has actually did that I've hired them. The developers that actually take action when engaging open source are amazing people.I have a feeling it's because they take the time to learn and get their feet wet even if it's initimidating.

A language for our ETL library DataVec (supports binary vectorization AND sql like transformations!):
