as its senior vice president of platform engineering. Lattner says it's still too early to say whether he'll work with Swift at SiFive, but he still maintains connections with the core team that maintains Swift and is still involved in the community.
"C++ is a complicated language," Lattner said. "Coming out of this, I was burned out, and I thought, there has to be a better thing. C++ and Objective-C [another older programming language], neither of them are bad. They're products of the circumstances they came from. We can do something way better."
"One of the great things about Apple culture is it's very analytical," Lattner said. "They ask questions because they're trying to shape things. That really does shape a product...It's been four years in, and a lot of the ideas have been battle-tested. A lot of the hard questions had been answered." Before Swift, the main language for building iOS apps was Objective-C.
Looking forward, Lattner says the data science and machine learning community is quickly changing. Currently, most people in that community use Python, but more people are starting to use Swift.
