On the road to Swift 6

Talking about machine learning, I hope the Swift core team would like to give a little bit more attention to the Swift for TensorFlow team. They have some ideas that could be considered to be part of Swift language feature regarding machine learning. For example, differentiable programming.

I sent this post out in October that touched on this:

Trajectory for evaluating adding Automatic Differentiation to Swift

One of the efforts of the Swift for TensorFlow project has been to explore adding features like Automatic Differentiation to the Swift language. This is a powerful capability that can significantly enrich Swift’s potential as a programming language for scientific computing, numerics, and machine learning. Speaking on behalf of the Swift Core Team, we are interested in evaluating incorporating this capability directly into the Swift language. As usual, changes to Swift must go through the Swif…

That was on behalf of the Core Team expressing support to pull that feature in the language through the normal evolution process.
