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. |

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