Hi Antoine, Thanks for the reply.
It would be great to get the Swift implementation added to the integration test. I have a task for adding the C Data Interface and I will work on getting the integration test running for Swift after that task. Can we move forward with setting up the repo as long as there is a task/issue to ensure the integration test will be run against Swift soon or would this be a blocker? Also, I am not sure about Julia, I have not looked into Julia’s implementation.
