Swift for TensorFlow Shuts Down

I'm a little bit confused by this comment. Obj-C is, in a lot of ways, the _higher_ level language on Apple systems now, and most of what I would consider "systems" programming on macOS and iOS is in C, assembly, and C++.

Probably right, but ObjC inherits C (and ObjC++ inherits C++), so you get all that low-level goodness, as well as the SmallTalk stuff.

You can more or less write C in Swift as well, though. Some pointer operations get more verbose, but the standard library also makes some stuff easier. The only thing that's really missing is a nice fixed-size array syntax (they get imported from C as tuples, which is not ideal).

Const and variadic generics would be nice, yes :)
