Sounds interesting. If SWIG does its job really well than agree it worth communities efforts to give it a try.
As a side note, I assume that somewhere in the future we will come to the point when Ignite will have its own Machine Learning API. For every ML lib it’s essential to support Python and R languages that are used by analysts, scientists and researches who train models and adjust algorithms before everything is deployed in production using Java or C++. If SWIG can generate Ignite’s APIs for Python and R then it would be a big breakthrough for us because the platform will provide all required languages needed to adopt an ML lib among researchers and developers. Could you take in charge of design and create respective JIRA tickets? — Denis > On Jan 17, 2017, at 11:55 PM, Evgeniy Stanilovskiy > <estanilovs...@gridgain.com> wrote: > > Hi Denis, > > I don`t see any problem here, i have to speak with @vozerov about this issue > and he recommends me to write it into dev list.
