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?

    Does Swift have general and basic benefits over other languages?

    I guess the advantage is that you can use it in situations where you otherwise would have been forced to use Objective C.
