I think so. Under "Final Decision":

> picked Swift over Julia because Swift has a much larger community, is syntactically closer to Python, and because we were more familiar with its internal implementation details - which allowed us to implement a prototype much faster.

Personally I find it hard to believe that Swift has a larger community of people doing numerical computation, but maybe I'm out of touch.
