Type safety. (And with it comes better performance ---read battery life--- and better static analysis tools, etc.) LLVM (an Apple-managed project) for the middle- and back-end, and a brand new front-end incorporating a decent type system (including optional types for instance). Swift's memory management is similar to python's (ref. counting). Which makes me think that a subset of python with the same type safety would be an instant success. -- Alain. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
