I think Swift came out for the Apple’s desire to make it even more appealing to
develop for its platforms. I don’t know over the years how many times I’ve
heard people bitching about Objective-C and its “weird” syntax. People couldn’t
get over it. Swift makes it easy for all the throngs of Java developer to feel
right back at home...
