Not sure how Apple deprecating a transitional tech is a valid comparison to Swift. You might as well say APFS is a passing fad that some manager might cancel and we'll all be back on HFS+ soon.
- zbowling 9y agoI agree mostly with this sentiment but this did actually happen with discoveryd in MacOS. https://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/30/apple-releases-os-x-10-10-4/ https://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/30/apple-releases-os-x-10-...

Also, for a very long time there were things you could only do in Carbon, and arguably that was still true at the time it was deprecated. Apple just makes bold moves that aren’t always clean breaks.
