Haven’t you heard? Swift is the first-ever corporate programming language, and we on HN can’t take its community efforts seriously to the extent of considering its potential value in general-purpose software.
I see it as a great language being driven (fw atm) by same buy who did Rust, no? And my take really is that the fact they were no good corpo created languages (GO is not one or what?), then it is totally fine to some big corpo like the much-disloved-yet-selling-shitloads-of-phones Apple to actually do something which benefits the world and does not incur costs ojn it.
