There seem to be a lot of inaccuracies in this article: "APPLE CREATED THE new Swift programming language as a better way of building apps for the iPhone, and it was a welcomed thing." Swift was, from the beginning available for both iOS and MacOS (leaving the iPad and iPod aside). "The language that drives most iPhone apps today—Objective C—is not open source, and for the most part, it remains limited to Apple devices. " Objective-C (in gcc) is open source, has been for a long time, and has been used in the GnuStep project for a long time. "But Apple has said it will soon open source Swift, freely sharing the underpinnings of the language with the world at large. Once that happens, Stephens and the rest of the developer community can port the language onto other operating systems, including Linux, which dominates the modern data center." Apple announced that it would provide a Linux port as part of the open source version. I'm surprised to see so many errors in a Wired article.
