With all due respect, you’re moving the goalposts quite a bit. Your initial statement was that Swift has no community or adoption outside of iOS, and no library support outside of Apple platforms. I never made the claim that Swift is the only language with C interop, or that it’s the best most successful cross platform language, I am simply refuting your claims that it is useless outside the Apple ecosystem. I agree with you that Swift has a way to go before it can be considered a truly platform agnostic general purpose programming language, but it is making strides in that direction. Recently Windows nightly builds have been introduced, and work has started on Language Server Portocl support, which should aid usability on 3rd part IDE’s. Also it’s somewhat perplexing to me that Swift for Tensorflow is often viewed as a strange move under the assumption that Swift is only for iOS, rather than being viewed in terms of Swift’s adoption for a new category of use-cases with the backing of a tech giant in Google. It remains to be seen whether Swift will find wide adoption, but I think it’s a mistake to assume it won’t only because of its origins.
