If you can’t think of any way that Apple could have created a modern Cocoa App development language with type safety, type inference, and a syntax that doesn’t stink then that’s your failing, not theirs. No, wait… that was their failing as well. They took a compiler engineer’s vanity project to invent Rubberized C++, and made it their App development “platform of the future”. And in so doing, trashed three decades’ investment in their Cocoa Applications development platform, which is the actual valuable part, simply to reinvent the same old wheel they had before. While not actually adding any fresh value. To what end; stroking nerd ego? Languages are ten-a-penny; you create a language to fit the problem space, not vice-versa. If you can’t get a 10x efficiency on developer time/LOC, don’t even bother. You’re just wasting everyone’s time. Tony Hoare called NULL his billion-dollar mistake. Swift is easily a million man-hour mistake, and still counting. Google must be laughing right now.
