I can imagine swift really taking off in this space. It’s going to be a battle between Julia and Swift for who does the best automatic differentiation.

I’m happy for Swift, but I really, really want Julia to win out here.

There’s some pretty impressive ML frameworks in Julia and the language can do some really cool things, so I’m hoping that gives it the edge.

Plus, I found tensorflow exceedingly painful to use, so hopefully something else prevails.

Google would need to make Swift a first class citzen on Windows, currently Julia is winning.
That's one of the outcomes I am hoping for in this. I would love for Swift to be a first-class language.

I believe the Swift for TensorFlow team is currently hiring for this.

how can you not mention Python when it's currently what is used 99% of the time, the other 1% being R
