ART. Of course Metal isn't general-purpose, nobody said it
is, but I don't see why you'd say Swift isn't.
Swift is clearly designed around Objective-C and Cocoa.
Oh, and I didn't respond to this because I didn't even know what
you meant, think I got it now. You're now saying Swift isn't
general-purpose simply because it's initially designed around
Apple's Cocoa OS APIs? Being tied to a single platform doesn't
make a language any less general-purpose, and since they
announced that they're open-sourcing Swift later this year, it
will be ported to other platforms, just as Obj-C has.
