Until Google actually offers Swift tooling comparable to Julia, Pytorch and ML.NET on Windows or Android, I will keep ignoring it.
Note that the recent Tensorflow Summit had zero annoucements related to S4TF, including post event blog posts.
From the outside it looks like there is a small group trying to push S4TF, without regards for usability outside Google Cloud, while everyone else is doing JavaScript, Python and C++ as usual.
Yeah I agree that the tooling at the moment is inadequate, specially on linux, but both Apple and Google are working towards improving it.
Regarding the tensorflow dev summit, it was supposed to be 2 days long initially, with the S4TF talk taking place on the second day. One week before the summit, the whole day 2 got scraped due to covid19 though. So the intention was there at least.
