> A data scientist could use Swift in much the same way as they use Python
Is this really true? Many data scientists don't come from a development background. Low level swift code (what's likely to be in TF) can be as obscure as C++.
Will the 'industry lag' without users having to dig into the library and understand the code?
Not all data scientists are the same. Sure, this probably isn't useful for someone without much coding experience who ya experience with the Kerala API, but for people who want to code custom architectures to solve their problem (which is also very common), the static type checking enabled by Swift, among other things, is very appealing.
