>Tensorflow Summit came and went with zero information on Swift for Tensorflow, it was all about JavaScript, C++ and Python.

It was truncated to one day when they made it virtual. There were swift announcements slated for day 2, which was cancelled entirely.

Regarding windows: https://forums.swift.org/t/new-swift-installer-for-windows/3...

There are also frequent commits to swift master and projects like swift NIO working on windows compat, from google. Also the S4tf stated they had future plans for swift on android.



Apparently not relevant enough to be worthy of even a small blog status update.

So it has an installer now.

Pity that it lacks the eco-system of libraries available to .NET, Java, Julia, and respective IDE support, on Windows.

So now besides import glibc on Linux, with platform ifdef, should we do import mvsc as well?

ST4F team having future plans for Android is meaningless, regarding what Android team actually puts on the SDK, NDK and Android Studio.

When I see Swift listed on https://developer.android.com/guide/platform, I will consider that Google actually wants it on Android.

Otherwise it is just like Flutter and Go, third party tooling, with various headaches and Android integration issues.


The difference is that S4TF is an internal google team. I can't imagine they wouldn't coordinate with the android team, especially given the benefits that easy ML will bring to apps.


Awaiting to see anything S4TF related here,

https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/android


I wouldn't expect to see it yet
