Apple's Swift Language Might Actually Be Good

Accepted submission by Robotron http://www.gordonshure.com at 2015-06-13 18:14:50

The hype around Swift is near non-existent by Apple standards, yet the language has attracted high praise [bloomberg.com] 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 [stackoverflow.com] 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?
