Clearly the answer is not "none", it's "almost everyone".
The first Swift build tools beta was downloaded ELEVEN MILLION TIMES in the first month alone. I would be surprised if that is not some kind of record. And it was the most loved language on SO already in 2016.
We're talking about a language powering the favourite devices of the richest 20% of the world population, a language that is extremely actively supported by the richest company on the planet. I think any reasonable person would conclude that it "has a future".
- ncmncm 5y agoMy actual question you persist in trying to distract from was, and I quote: "what ideas, if any, from Swift are good enough to adopt into other languages...?" Apparently the answer is, No features in Swift should be of any interest to anyone else. And, again, how many NOSES APPLE HAS BROWNED is still of no interest whatsoever. Shame on you. Your behavior is reprehensible, but not unrepresentative; it reflects badly on Apple.
