Swift suffered the fate, of being a language developed by an academic to say and developed within a large corporation. It ended up being a complex language with useful features. Newbie hackers can't at all master protocols, generics and all the cruft. If it was simple as GO, and from day one designed to run on servers instead of iOS, Swift would've had incredible adoption given features as optionals, type safety and python/c like syntax & first class functions.

- millstone 8y ago1. Chris Lattner is not "an academic" by any measure. He industry creds are stiff stuff. 2. "Newbie hackers" can and have mastered Swift and similarly complex languages. 3. Apple would not be interested in developing a language to "run on servers instead of iOS." 4. Get a life troll.
