Ah, interesting. I've suddenly gone from "Not caring at all about the existence of this language" to "Mildly intrigued."
It's amazing what some opening of control will do.
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoI'm hopeful but until I see a license and what is and isn't opened sourced I'm going to be reserved.
- cpr 11y agoOne imagines it'll be liberally licensed like LLVM, which Chris Lattner also BDFLs. And they said it would be the compiler and the runtime for OS X, iOS, and (surprisingly) Linux.
- whoosy 11y agoI think it's most likely going to be integrated into LLVM so you are probably right.
- ptomato 11y agoOSI-approved permissive license, per https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=29 https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=29
- zak_mc_kracken 11y agoThere is no opening of control, just opening of source. You can be sure Apple will remain the exclusive ruler of what goes into Swift.
- fixermark 11y agoI don't doubt it. But as Iceweasel reminds us, with opening of source, dissent is just a fork away.
