Hm. Not sure, if this is really a wise choice. After all they are choosing to use an Apple controlled programming language. Whatever direction Apple wants to go in, they will face themselves with following or working around. As an example we can look at Go and the whole GOPROXY debacle. And they will also have to deal with Apple not going into a direction, if they need that direction. Might have to build more stuff themselves, than with a language that is basically community owned. What if the Swift compiler starts doing things they don't like? They just going to be stuck at an obsolete version then? Or fork the language?
