Likewise, I tried _swift_ back when it was first announced. I had trouble finding tools in standard library to handle simple FILE operations. There are many resources on using PythonInterops to get the job done. But kinda defeats the purpose. Maybe these are early days.
That said, I remain optimistic given Jeremy's involvement — he/Rachael/fastai's been nothing but a source of good for ML in general.
I am familiar with libc (I will have to look up Foundation). My opinions were based on cursory browsing at best.
To be clear, coming from mostly python/c++, I was looking for something like `import pathlib` or `#include <filesystem>`. Lot of modeling work I do involves boring things like moving files around, plotting them etc.
Again, its likely that I did not look around enough.
