Does anyone have an estimate of how far off this future is? Presumably it
involves the runtime libraries being bundled into the OS … so would this happen
in iOS 10 / macOS 10.12?
I’d love to use Swift, but I work on a framework
<https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-ios/> for use by other apps, and I
can’t justify adding any Swift code to the framework if that would suddenly
cause everyone’s app size to balloon by ~5MB. (Except for devs already using
Swift in their apps, true, but I don’t know how many of them are.)
