I remember seeing a demo of F# at an Eclipse conference a few years ago.
It also very much reminded me of Smalltalk.
What's interesting about swift is not only that Apple chose an existing
name for their new programming language (interesting for a company that
is very careful about their own brand names), but that swift seems to be
statically typed, while one of the biggest advantages of Objective-C is
that it allows for dynamic typing (to some extent)...

This is the sort of thing Smalltalk seems well suited for (live coding w/
value and iteration display). Does anyone know of something like it that has
been done before in Smalltalk?
I don't have a good link to a demonstration purely of the Playground but
there is a little info here: https://developer.apple.com/swift/
