Wow this project had so much potential going for it. What does Chris Lattner have to say about this?

Same questions here, Jeez.

Would love to know Jeremy Howard's too.

I immediately thought of Jeremy Howard, he has mentioned this project in a couple of interviews.

Swift now being a 100% Apple-sponsored & owned project again makes me a bit nervous.

Anyone knows if chris latner is at least using swift in his new company ? I have the feeling swift never really worked in the server side, data science is now officially a failure, and all that is left is now a very niche market of 100% native mobile development.

I love this language, but i'm eager to see it handled by a proper foundation with big names behind, as it's a really great language.

I don’t see any justification for the shut down. Does anyone know why?

What do you mean by data science being a failure?
