Latest: Apple Has Announced It Has A New Programming Language -Swift
According to Apple, swift is a big deal for developers. The language includes loads of features third-party developers have been asking for. It sits alongside Objective-C and C, meaning developers can interchange between languages in the same project.
The new programming language integrates with a new development feature of Xcode, called ‘Playgrounds’. Playgrounds is a testing ground that renders developer code in realtime. Developers can jump in and out of game time, for example, whilst typing.
In many ways, Swift acts like a modern JavaScript language but runs natively on the device. Developers can start submitting apps written in Swift from day 1 of iOS 8′s and Yosemite’s public release.
Well this could be an opportunity for ROF programming -loving members to tap into if you know what I mean...

I won't know if it's good until I build some software in it....which will probably not happen any time soon unless my line of work changes. Cool though.

If it comes from Apple, then it renders previous programming languages obsolete and is incompatible with any preexisting products.

Great... another language to know so you can be marketable. Computer programmers nowadays are the true polyglots.
