This month we are [celebrating](https://swift.org/blog/black-history-month/) Black History Month, and in reason of that, there are a couple of Swift community members who have a tremendous impact on all of us. I want to thank them and everyone else who brings our community forward and enriches it.
This month we are [celebrating](https://swift.org/blog/black-history-month/) Black History Month, which makes this a good time to recognize those Swift community members who have had a tremendous impact on all of us. I want to thank them and everyone else who enriches and moves our community forward.

It is sad to see that [Swift for TensorFlow](https://github.com/tensorflow/swift) has been archived. On a good note, we now know that Swift can be used for tasks like machine learning.

[Zoe Carver](https://forums.swift.org/u/zoecarver) [updated](https://forums.swift.org/t/a-short-term-roadmap-for-c-interop/44768) the short-term roadmap for C++ interop.

> My primary goal over the next few months will be to fully import libc++ headers, LLVM headers, and Swift headers without crashing. This doesn't mean we'll necessarily be able to use any of these APIs, just that we'll be able to load the headers without crashing or having other errors. Ideally, we won't regress in terms of what C++ programs we can accept.
>
> This should be mostly compiler bug fixes. However, there will be some larger projects, such as making all the headers we plan to use self-contained.

> * The distinction between property wrappers that are API and property wrappers that are implementation detail is formalized via the `api` option in the `@propertyWrapper` attribute, i.e. `@propertyWrapper(api)`
> * Implementation-detail property wrappers on parameters are sugar for a local wrapped variable.
