...nobody in academia uses python? I would strongly disagree. The whole point of this Swift library is to provide an alternative to PyTorch which is clearly very popular in the community.

Being in academia myself, I have to disagree as well. Academia has it's own languages and tools it prefers. They have just recently started warming up to Python.
