from the swift-rise-in-popularity dept.

The hype around Swift is near non-existent by Apple standards, yet the language has attracted high praise since its release last year. Swift is essentially one of the very few Apple products representing a clear departure from the hardware-led approach Steve Jobs took to the business. If Stack Overflow's 2015 dev survey is anything to go by, it looks as if the Swift language might have potential to really shake things up.

Might the days of Apple programmers relying upon objective C be numbered?

    But it's interesting in the same way you learn liberal arts to have sex with a girl.

    Except that Apple is more like an 800 pounds gorilla than a girl someone would like to fuck with.

    Can you do a car analogy instead? (grin)

    Swift is like learning how variable valve timing works just to put on chrome valve covers?
