Why would a company like Apple be expected to switch a significant amount of important projects over in a short timeframe? They are hiring engineers for Swift:
I'm sure they are hiring Swift developers, but my understanding is that no established projects at Apple use Swift. Period. Part of the supposed utility of Swift is being able to include Swift-written classes in an Obj C project.

That wouldn't be very surprising if it were true but I highly doubt you're basing it on anything remotely factual unless you heard it from Tim Cook himself as very few sources will be aware of every single project they have going.

Why is it a 'supposed utility' when it's proven this is the case? It's a good feature as it means code primarily written in Objective-C can include small amounts of Swift without rewriting the whole thing.
[QUOTE] Long-time NeXT/Apple Developer exalts Swift after 1.2 update
Wil Shipley, a developer whose association with Apple began with a contract for NeXT, has posted two tweets in praise of Swift shortly after Apple’s “significant update” to the programming language.
Shipley says he feels the same way about Swift that he did when he first saw Cocoa on the NeXT platform, and that Objective-C is a “crapshack” of a language in comparison. [/QUOTE]
I've taken hundreds hours of Computer-related programming courses since 1956 -- And even taught a few myself!!
This is the best instructor and style I've seen!
That sounds excellent. I watched a portion of the old series, but I never finished it.

It's practically in unofficial beta at this point. Just a few months ago the compiler had major bugs. I think this will change soon though.

I definitely plan to watch it when I have the time. I stopped watching television a couple years ago to give myself more time for reading and stuff like that.

Something missing in that link... namely, a link! ????
Millennial Philosophy: Is a hyperlink still a hyperlink if it doesn't contain a fully qualified domain name?
An enigma wrapped in a conundrum, wrapped in a non-functioning hyperlink. ????
A query, wrapped in mark-up text, inside a transport protocol.
