The horrible fact is that one cannot find any decent alternative to
deep learning, especially on the problems impossible for a
non-intelligent
algorithm to solve. There are countless examples about things that only
deep learning could solve (traditional machine learning could solve a
portion of them but generally deep learning does the best).
For ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) you will find nothing except for
deep learning among the best implementations. Traditional models
for ASR, such as HMM (hidden markov chain) are just far less accurate
compared to deep learning, as reported by papers.
One day ML-Policy will eventually show its sanity.

Tensorflow 1.X is a long-term support release and it's basically mature
enough. It will be maintained for a while even after the 2.X release.
An energetic developer could work on the abandoned cmake build and
produce packages enough for supporting applications such as deepspeech.
