Just because Apple may need to keep Objective-C around for the frameworks doesn't mean they will continue to allow applications to be written in it. All they need to do is either eliminate the option (stop shipping the Objective-C compiler), or do so by requiring all applications to have something that is only available via Swift. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
