Chris Lattner and Brennan Saeta present Swift for TensorFlow at the TensorFlow Dev Summit 2019, covering language-integrated automatic differentiation and tooling for machine learning in Swift.
Cited as the source for Google's Swift for TensorFlow effort, later remembered as a once-hyped ML language.

This one is very interesting and unexpected. Swift for TensorFlow: The Next-Generation Machine Learning Framework: this video
> Almost 0% chance any reputable company relies on something like go or swift to drive an automobile out on public roads. You couldn’t be more wrong. Tesla hired the creator of Swift to run Autopilot software. He’s now at Google where he’s working on making Swift a primary language for TensorFlow.[1] [1] this video
Google are beginning to use it for Tensorflow: this video There's a course currently running in University of San Francisco run by Fast.ai which is using Swift-Tensorflow taught by Chris Lattner for two lessons: [LINK] Not exactly what you asked, but pertinent.
Exactly. Lattner himself has been involved in some of this - Swift for Tensorflow comes to mind. I'm old enough to remember when Swift for Tensorflow was going to be the new ML language hotness: [LINK] and this video
