...But fast.ai is a Python library. Partially written in swift.

Validating the original point that nothing will replace python for DL applications any time soon but middleware will continue to be implemented in c++/rust/swift/whatever you fancy.

S4TF isn't the first and certainly not the last end to end non-python DL stack. It might be worth highlighting as an example if it ever reaches mindshare above the noise floor amongst those stacks.

> Our hope is that we’ll be able to use Swift to write every layer of the deep learning stack, from the highest level network abstractions all the way down to the lowest level RNN cell implementation. There would be many benefits to doing this...

Well, the tldr: you’re wrong.

The more approachable reading: python isn’t going anywhere, but people are looking at other things for more than just low level implementations with a python wrapper.

...it’s early days yet, who knows where things will go... but maybe do a bit more reading and have an open mind?

There’s more to life than python.
