I have been casually playing around with TensorFlow for Swift since it was announced. It shows promise but I question long term support and development.
The Julia language with the Flux deep learning library is another very interesting but not mainstream path to take.
- byt143 7y agoWhat are your concerns around the support / dev? Google has a fairly sizable team around it, it has a fast path to adoption by the large pool of swift devs and fast.ai, and of course, google hype.

- mark_l_watson 7y agoI hope there is no long term support problem, but I don’t know. I am sort-of addicted to Lisp languages, but I admit there is a lot to like about Swift, and TensorFlow turtles all the way down in Swift is a great idea.
