Under your direction Apple’s platforms have gone from using cobbled-together, outdated GPLv2 tools to a thoroughly modern and much-improved toolchain. It’s probably the nicest platform to develop for now, and through open-source those projects have had huge impacts in all kinds of other areas, too. Thank you very much for all the years of work you’ve put in to make that happen, and best of luck for the future! - Karl _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
