- bsaul 2y agoThat would be great indeed. I’ve sayed this a few times, but i believe swift’s only chance to become mainstream is now, and only by growing outside of apple.
- tmpz22 2y agoIt was talked about in the Platform keynote (not the main keynote) - they're doing a lot of crossplatform work, off the top of my head: * Enhancement of VSCode support (and any editor that integrates LSP) * Increasing supported linux and windows platforms * Increasing support for constrained environments (embeded? dunno) * Continued support of community products like Vapor (web framework)
- candiddevmike 2y agoWhy would that make it more worthwhile? What are the compelling reasons to use Swift instead of Go?
- jen20 2y agoSum types is sufficient reason alone.
- codetrotter 2y agoFor example if you already know, and use, Swift because you are an app developer who’s been developing apps for iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, then improved cross-platform support would be very desirable.
- h12nz 2y agoBecause it has much nicer ergonomics. Why would anyone create a modern language with nil.
- citrus1330 2y agoIt's a better language.
