It seems that, outside of what's used in Cocoa, the Swift language is pretty volatile right now. I would hesitate to commit to a large project that didn't involve the App Store.
- sdegutis 11y agoI think the hope of projects like these is partly to try to advance interest in Swift which draws in more users who then help contribute to making the language more cross-platform, and partly to be f1rst in the project's niche when the language finally crosses that barrier, so that it becomes the de facto standard. (Think Compojure for Clojure, in the same problem domain.)
- PakG1 11y agoMy personal hope is that a lot of the long-term risk is mitigated due to IBM's partnership with Apple and alleged goals to use Swift in enterprise. Admittedly, that may not deal with the short-term risk.
