On the other hand, if Apple wanted to encourage server-side Swift this would be a way to do it. I just had a shower thought the other day that with the growth of WASM, Apple could target the web as well.
But ultimately I think Apple is still more focused on building consumer products rather than developer services. I'm not sure how they'd retain their identity with such a shift in focus.
- ianai 4y agoActually they could work on marrying design (their traditional client base) with some lighter development tools-cross platform. This could be marketed as a moat from AI. Possibly some good demand growth potential there. Edit-the goal would be to offer a product that makes a suitably skilled designer in the tools roughly equal to a minimally viable UI developer.
- Mikeb85 4y ago> I just had a shower thought the other day that with the growth of WASM, Apple could target the web as well Lol you don't remember how Apple's been specifically trying to hold back web technologies to encourage native apps? Embracing WASM is completely against everything they've been doing for the last decade.
