Any news on Swift for Tensorflow?

I’m skeptical of how much practical benefit it will provide but still willing to take a look at it.

There doesn’t seem to be any mention of it here.

I have spent a few evenings playing with early releases. I like the ‘turtles all the way down’ idea, but I am waiting to see more mature releases. I have spent much more time with TensirFlowJS that works well, has many great examples.

From what I understand this is mostly because they hired the Swift guy.

I understand the benefits compared to Python (although I would have preferred Go or Kotlin). But what happens when the guy eventually moves on in a year or two?

Google's making a big investment in Swift, so if Chris left and they were interested in continuing to support it they shouldn't have a problem.

I've gone to Swift on the Server conferences hosted/sponsored by Google, their (non-TF) Swift teams are building some cool Swift tools, etc.
