> So, apparently you didn't even read the article, as it is explicitly stated that this was not the intention or direction of Swift.
It might actually help that there is a real commitment in that direction. The issue being that it was IBM that mostly pushed for changes in foundation and without there initial blue socket support, even the most basic tasks did not even succeed.
Let alone the none existing windows support. It may not have been Chris his intention but one now ex-employee intention does not mean a lot when the company determines the direction after his release.
While I agree that the state of the Foundation frameworks should be better, I would not go as far as saying Apple is disinterested. Just lower priority. Also, seeing how Swift has evolved, the community has a very large impact on the direct Swift is taking.
