Correct me if I'm wrong, but Chris seems like a very respectful person and I've never heard this direct language from him publicly - it must've been a pretty bad situation.
It's too bad Swift is straying from his original vision but that's the tradeoff of designing a new language with a large company. Not blaming Apple or anything, kudos for them putting so many resources in an experimental new language, and LLVM wouldn't be where it is today without them (which I think is enabling a sea change in engineering), but at the end of the day there's only one use case for swift that matters.
- Zanneth 5y agoI've listened to both episodes of Lex Fridman's podcast where he interviewed Chris and he seems like an extremely humble and intelligent guy. No question he is one of the leading experts on compilers too, and has a lot of hardcore engineering background to prove it. Sometimes organizations just grow to be too large and too remote to sustain a productive and respectful environment. I don't think anyone is necessarily at fault here.
