Swift Numerics

You may find this article I wrote useful background for understanding the capabilities of numerical computing in Swift, including details about a library which provides features overlapping with the new Swift package: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fast.ai&#x2F;2019&#x2F;01&#x2F;10&#x2F;swift-numerics&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fast.ai&#x2F;2019&#x2F;01&#x2F;10&#x2F;swift-numerics&#x2F;</a>

I am also happy to see that sometime in the last several years slices of arrays became views rather than copies. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;swift&#x2F;arrayslice" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;documentation&#x2F;swift&#x2F;arrayslice</a>

Does anyone use Swift (in production) for backend services not related at all to the Apple ecosystem? It seems like a better Golang to me, but the tooling space only targets Apple stuff.

Really looking forward to ShapedArray. Eventually a lot of what one might do with Python may be available in Swift.

I wonder what it can offer vs Julia language for HPC.

Awesome. Now who wants to make a hypercomplex numbers library (quaternions, Clifford, Cayley-Dixon...) in Swift?

Personally, I&#x27;d rather get the Swift equivalent of java.util.concurrent.
