Yeah, me neither. It strikes me as a given this only cannabilizes from Objective-C programmers with Apple hardware. Other than that? Maybe you could see the Étoilé project taking it up as one of their languages if one of them has enthusiasm for it. What, you never heard of the Étoilé project? > > Contrary to everyone talking about M$ imitating Apple, I think what's > happening here is the opposite. The only reason they'd open source this The two aren't mutually exclusive I think. But which Microsoft are they imitating, the one people were afraid of or today's? Cause you can also interpret a company like Apple or Microsoft open sourcing something as a hail mary or a desperate plea for attention. Another list I'm on had someone ask a similar question to Eric's when Apple had their first Swift press release last year (the last time the press or anyone else had anything to say about Swift?). Despite Wired then running an article saying it will "Remake Computer Programming" who actually gives a damn about Swift a year later. Maybe I'm living under a rock. -- Mike Small [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
