I question the long term viability of Swift for TensorFlow. I hope that I don’t sound like I am whining but I invested a fair amount of time with Swift from last fall through this February because I wanted: a better faster language to work in for DL than Python; I was also interested in trying some iOS, iPadOS, and macOS development; Swift looked interesting also for Linux server side work. For Apple development I have found Flutter+Dart to be more pleasant. For DL I decided to stick with taking advantage of my 5+ years experience with TF in Python. Off topic, but Julia and Flux are really worth checking out for DL. Some advice: if you want to experiment with Swift for TensorFlow use Google’s colab and make your life easier. I wish I could get back the install times on my Linux GPU laptop and on macOS. If you pay for colab like I do, you get good GPU/TPU resources, and it is simply an easy and fun way to go.
