What are your concerns around the support / dev?

Google has a fairly sizable team around it, it has a fast path to adoption by the large pool of swift devs and fast.ai, and of course, google hype.

Google has kind of a reputation for killing projects.
I hope there is no long term support problem, but I don’t know. I am sort-of addicted to Lisp languages, but I admit there is a lot to like about Swift, and TensorFlow turtles all the way down in Swift is a great idea.
