I'm wondering if Swift was developed to make Apps harder to port from iPad/iPhone to other platforms? It's up to the developer what they use of course but new developers that only learn and develop in Swift are locked into Apple's ecosystem right?


   I read the discussion with interest but didn't reply as I haven't taken the time to look at the language. However, this was my question - is this planned as a cross platform development system? I didn't see that discussed. As such, I had the same thought as SysAdmin.

   Had anyone read further on the topic?

Chris Lattner (who designed Swift), says Apple haven't decided yet, also the language is still considered beta as the final compiler hasn't been released yet...


Thank you. I'll keep watching to see what they decide.

As usual, Arstechnica have a nice review of Swift... I generally agree with their assessment too.
