>From the WWDC presentation it sounded like it'll might be generating code compatible with the Apple Objective-C runtime using LLVM.
- If the code generator becomes available (which it might not, given LLVM is BSD-licensed and Apple might be happy to keep it closed), someone needs to step in and make GNU-runtime-specific changes to it. - If the code generator does not become available, I'd say it's unlikely that GNUstep developers would write one. (Though, who knows?) I don't think we need to decide anything about GNUstep's support for it until a free compiler can compile Swift. And after that happens, I see no reason why not.
