Was gonna open an issue about that as well.

Note that with this Theano change, adding pure-python (wrapped) prob distributions to pymc3 is now much easier: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc/issues/507

Does distributions have most common (log) probability distributions in C++ (e.g. normal)? Couldn't find them by quickly skimming the code base.

Distributions implements a few probability distributions as score_...(...) and sample_...(...) in https://github.com/forcedotcom/distributions/blob/master/include/distributions/random.hpp But distributions is focused on collapsed Gibbs sampling of conjugate distributions, and only a few score_ and sample_ functions are needed, e.g. sample_normal(...) and score_student_t(...), but neither score_normal(...) nor sample_student_t(...).
