Swift is strictly less complicated than objective-c for implementing Cocoa apps. It can be used to do more complex things if you want to do functional programming, but to do the same things in the same way, it is less complicated. The weake

'its all-but-stated goal of penetrating the lower-income market in the developing world' This is where the fiction lies. You actually don't know what the goal was, but with a statement like this you can manufacture one tha

It's not about a statement being less than flowery. It's about a statement that is misleading. You say the rest of the article is balanced, but how do you know that?

This is absolutely false. Because almost all of Google's products are server based, they gather far more information about your behavior than Apple. Where is Apple's equivalent of Google Analytics, Adsense, and Search History, tr

Unless you happen to be targeting iOS or Mac OSX, in which case take core data seriously. Also, compile time safety is available with generated headers or Swift.

Doing necessary work that you don't want to do is a normal part of life. Being trained to do unnecessary work that you don't want to do to prove that you can game the system is simply degeneration.

It's the lack of competition that makes it a problem.

Even if you are right, and I'd only grant you that I am partially wrong about java because the JCP has collapsed since the Oracle takeover - the rest are just you adding qualifiers to minimize the contradiction, so what? Your position

There appears to be no activity or information about this process that is publicly available.

Not adopted by a standards body is a pretty significant factor. It is also proprietary in that Google is in absolute control of the development process.

Noting that those are just dimensions, and not an explanation, is there any better alternative on any handset along any of those dimensions? (also icloud backup doesn't use mobile data)

Can you explain why anyone would not turn on iCloud backups for their device?

The Trojan horse logic is about being able to ship binary apps to those platforms within chrome without having to build everything in.

Also, why do we give credence to this statement from Friedman? Are human needs really infinite? From what evidence is this conclusion drawn?

by gress 12y ago
You're right that Apple won't allow that on iOS, but I don't think they care. This is about them establishing a new platform to displace Android and the open web.
868.
by gress 12y ago
I don't think Google cares about it as a web standard. They just want to deploy it widely through chrome, ChromeOS, and chrome on Android (eventually), and use it as a Trojan horse for their own binary applications and OS components.

Swift is not anything like JavaScript. And unfortunately ruby isn't powerful enough to do what Apple needs, but I agree that it would be nice if they could have chosen something with more syntactic elegance, although I'd have pre
