Hey folks, just wanted to say that it’s very early days at the moment (as WoodenChair commented) — and we’re changing the button to "Sneak Peek" to reflect this. Poor Greg has been working his fingers off to get it ready (he’s pulled three all-nighters and that can’t be healthy so he’s been told in no uncertain terms to get some sleep now) and we should have a running compiler within the week.
If any of you want to help out, please do get in touch.
Ideally, of course, if Apple opens Swift up, we can contribute to that instead of duplicating effort :)
- simi_ 12y agoStartups led by non-engineers just leave a bad taste in my mouth for some reason. This comment definitely evokes that feeling.
- mindcrash 12y agoErhm. Aral knows code. Trust me :) Also if you read a bit further, the effort on Phoenix is lead by Greg Casamento, who is also involved with GNUStep (and thus bringing the NS* objects to Linux).
- simi_ 12y agoThanks for the clarification. I've met Aral and consider him a very smart guy, I was just commenting about my gut feeling in situations similar to this. I'm happy to learn I'm wrong in this case. :)
