Swift for TensorFlow project shuts down

Swift for TensorFlow, a Google-led project to integrate the TensorFlow machine learning library and Apple's Swift language, is no longer in active development. Nevertheless, parts of the effort live on, including language-differentiated programming for Swift. The GitHub repo for the project notes it is now in archive mode and will not receive further updates. The project, the repo notes, was positioned as a new way to develop machine learning models. "Swift for TensorFlow was an experiment in the next-generation platform for machine learning, incorporating the latest research across machine learning, compilers, differentiable programming, systems design, and beyond."
