Wow this project had so much potential going for it. What does Chris Lattner have to say about this?

  Same questions here, Jeez. Would love to know Jeremy Howard's too.

    I immediately thought of Jeremy Howard, he has mentioned this project in a couple of interviews.

      He didn't just mentioned it, he thought the courses of an iteration of fast.ai in Swift as it was allegedly the way forward and more useful for students (paraphrasing).

    I remember an interview [1] with him a few months back where he seemed to have stopped pursuing it after Chris Lattner's departure. Sylvain Gugger, who was pretty involved in fastai and prototyping a Swift port, also left to join Huggingface a while ago.

  He left Google a while ago, so I doubt he’s surprised.
