Just thought it would be nice to give a heads up about Apple's
plans to replace Objective-C in the long run.
The language was presented today at the WWDC Keynote, looks
like Ruby, uses ARC alongside the Objective-C runtime.

It also has a nice REPL experience, similar to Python's
worksheets in IPython.

"Thank God!!" I told my colleagues today when they told me
about it. Swift is like 10x better langauge than that
abomination called "Objective-C".
I kind of liked it back in 1999, when I had to port a Particle
Engine from Objective-C/NeXT to C++/Windows.
However after so many languages in my toolbox, I would have to
agree to the language's many warts.
