Swift is a good move for Apple; it makes developing for iOS more attractive. And because Swift, like Objective-C, is only relevant within the Apple ecosystem it encourages developers to commit exclusively to Apple and neglect other platforms. This is clearly a good outcome for Apple, but it’s a bad outcome for developers wanting to engage as many people as possible. source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gabe-sumner/why-most-developers-shoul_b_5454013.html

What is Swift (programming language)?

Swift is a programming language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS apps that builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate, backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an opportunity to reimagine how software development works.
