Ok, but to use terms from that article, Swift is still very much "Software 1.0". It's a general-purpose programming language meant to be written by people. Sure, it's good that people are trying to extend it to fit their specific needs, but I don't think that Swift (or any commonly used language today) is anywhere near being "good" for these types of tasks.

> Neural networks [...] represent the beginning of a fundamental shift in how we write software.

That's an...interesting statement, considering that neural networks are nearly as old as software itself. The original Pitts-McCulloch paper was published in 1943. Active use of them has certainly been ongoing longer than that blog author has been alive.

And yet it's true, since they haven't been used in the way they are now. There was no DeepMind in 1943. Computer science stuff usually takes a few decades to mature.
