I understand why Apple has a vested interest in maintaining control over the language. What I'm saying is that this puts Swift at a disadvantage in terms of broad adoption and the odds of the language surviving its creator leaving when compared to a language like Rust that has real community involvement and is perceived by everyone as more neutral.
- GeekyBear 5y agoIf you look at the top of the page with Chris' comment, it looks like the Swift team is moving to address this: >In the coming weeks, we hope to introduce a new language workgroup that will focus on the core of the language evolution itself, splitting off this responsibility from the core steering of the project. The intent is to free the core team to invest more in overall project stewardship and create a larger language workgroup that can incorporate more community members in language decisions.
