It looks like Apple might just take functional programming and make it a huge commercial success with Swift Apparently the guy who headed the project even wants to use it as an intro CS language! |

Is it Mac only? Or is there plans to port it to other OSes? Heard about it on hacker news. |

I dislike how they allow any symbol to entered into the editor, especially as part of a variable name. I didn't even know there were characters of a dog's and cow's head O_o While Swift seems to have a lot of similarities to C, it sure seems "easier" than Turing in other aspects... Looks cool overall though. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode and many programming languages will allow non-ASCII symbols. Keep in mind that for most people, English is not their primary language. |

If it takes off someone will probably write a GCC frontend for Swift. |
