It made my day, I’m happy it got posted. Also, something about the funny syntax feels familiar, reminds me of concurrency in Swift 6 (just keep adding keywords to make it work).

I hope this fails too. Apple is the platform, it's not their place to be making social/utility apps. There are plenty of alternatives, if Apple really wanted one, they could have funded an indie effort or literally anything other

And make it possible to run binaries on macOS/iOS etc without a mandatory subscription and US export controls. Without notarisation, anything made with Swift is practically unusable on Apple OSs

Side note, I think it was hilarious that Swift was allowed on FOSDEM. Even “free” (as in you probably don’t have to pay for a developer account to use it, *unless you want to ship some binary), Swift remains an Apple product.

You’re only focusing on access to source code, the comment is about leadership and decision making. Remember the OmniSharp story around VSCode from just two years ago? It’s a very high profile example of what can (and eventually will) happe

Apple probably has use cases for this and they’re bringing it into the open as a nice marketing thing. I wouldn’t count on long term support or compatibility beyond current priorities for Apple (same as their other SDKs for iOS, macOS etc)

Is it really being released? Although some parts of the language and build chains are technically open source (as in, you can see the code), the project is still completely controlled by Apple at the top.

It’s funny how they’re shutting down TikTok because it’s “manipulative and anti-democratic” while that’s a core trait of every algorithmic/engagement social media. Twitter and Threads should be banned as well then.

The original Switch was released 7 years ago. I don't think Nintendo needs to justify the upgraded model. It simply is the Nintendo Switch, and we now know they can make it last for a VERY long time. I think that's enough.

Wholeheartedly agree. One can just be at ease that the compiler has it covered and one can focus on coding. Both the tooling and the syntax for these protections is kind of “out of the way” as well - I don’t have to learn extra keywords jus

It was a legitimate question. Issues related to displacement of people are often labeled as related to immigration or immigration problems while they’re closer to things like policy and services. These are also topics favourited by populis

But is it really immigration or “immigration” like the kind that populist parties vilify for engagement? Here in Europe, it’s mostly “immigration”.

On the contrary, I think we’re finally realising the benefits of centralisation. Separatism and isolation are things of the past.
