I've always admired apple from afar. I wish they cared More about lower rung use cases. If apple came out with something to compete with chromebooks, maybe $500-600 range, I'd be the first in those ridiculous lines.
Tangent: what's the outlook for swift on the server? Is that work group doing any work lately? Hell I heard swift was investigating memory safety as a future feature, is that still a thing?
I think with some of their software talent, swift could really make a strong case for swift>rust in learnability if it could make the same claims about safety and correctness.
Why do the coolest things always get so fucked up? The swift website is absolutely littered with old code that doesn't work, or at least it was the last time I bothered to investigate it.
They're sitting on such an absurd amount of cash, they oughtta do that Think Different thing and shake the scene up a bit more. The wait-for-google-and-then-fix-whatever-they-fuckup is getting stale.
I guess they don't care what I think since I'm not really an apple customer. But still.
Oh apple. Someday.
