- pjmlp 4y agoI do and he says exactly the same thing. >...the goal was really to build something that you could write firmware in or that you could do scripting in, that you could write mobile apps or server apps or low-level systems code, and have it be great at all of those, not just some terrible compromise. Taken from https://oleb.net/2019/chris-lattner-swift-origins/ https://oleb.net/2019/chris-lattner-swift-origins/ to save listing to the whole interview Feel free to actually listen to the episode as well, and also read/listen the sections on how Swift is a complete Objective-C replacement without the bad C parts.
- tambourine_man 4y agoI misread your first post, sorry. Yeah, it's one heck of a goal.
