Go is not really a "Google" technology. It's just a programming language like any other. There's no reason Apple shouldn't use it, if it's the right tool for the job.
- josu 12y agoWell, it'd be pretty weird if Go-ogle started developing their applications in Swift.
- NateDad 12y agoI don't think it would be weird if they developed OSX/iOS applications in Swift.
- Shebanator 12y agoActually, google does a lot of iOS development and has dozens of shipping iOS apps (https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/google-inc./id281956209 https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/google-inc./id281956209), and thus has a pretty sizable community of Objective C programmers. So Google will almost certainly be shipping apps containign Swift code as soon as the tools stabilize enough for them to do so.
- yepguy 12y agoI think they're mechanically translating their Java code to Objective C: https://github.com/google/j2objc https://github.com/google/j2objc
- a_c_s 12y agoI'd be surprised if they didn't use Swift for their iOS apps.
- tricolon 12y agoThey're not using Swift at the moment. But they might at some point in the future. Source: friend who works at Google.
- gegenschall 12y agoThey might actually do that: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/google-inc./id281956209 https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/google-inc./id281956209
- CmonDev 12y agoApple simply doesn't have any own solutions for server-side development. Google has own languages for both client (Dart) and server (Go).
