So unfortunate for these 'original Swift' guys. I remember a similar thing happened with the author of the "go!" language: https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9 https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9. Nowadays there is so much programming languages out there that is becoming very hard coming up with a name that don't conflict with an existing (not well-known) language. Every week (if not daily) we see some language arising to surface here at HN.
