Apple releases Swift for iOS Dev

Going to get confused with http://swift-lang.org/

I love how the world just DDos-ed the swift-lang.org site :P

They're going to wonder what the hell happened.

... and it's down. Google cache link:

The beginning of the end for Objective-C? Thank god.

Sigh. The energy I spent learning Obj-C ...

… has broadened your horizons and made you a better programmer, making future languages you want to learn that much easier.

Is there a reason you didn't just use the link feature?

Apologies, I added the URL subsequently.

Download “The Swift Programming Language” from the iBooks Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-swift-programming-langu...

From looking at the slide, looks quite like Scala.

I wonder if it'll be able to cross compile to other platforms?

Do we really need another language?

Said no iOS developer ever.

Have you tried using Objective C?
