A few weeks ago, a news item that left no one indifferent jumped into the media. There was talk of the programming language that Apple had created to start programming all its systems again and that it was going to be used from now on by the developers became open source.
However, this programming language has been the basis of iOS 9 and third-party applications, not coming yet to systems like OS X or the programming of the iCloud itself.
Well today we can rejoice that it seems that the Senior Vice President of Software Engineering for the Bitten Apple Company, Craig Federighi, has said in an interview that certain teams of engineers who develop different parts of OS X El Capitan are already starting to program parts of it from scratch.
We are talking about that the teams that are dedicated for example to the Dock and the resizing of windows are already testing these parts in Swift programming language. By Federighi, all those engineers they do not conceive of going back to Objective-C it means. Now, with this new language, they work more fluidly and the results are optimal in less time.
Now we can understand that Apple made the decision to make this new programming language open source. What is intended is that new programmers are taught from the beginning with this language and not with another. We will see if with the passage of time what Apple is planning is fulfilled.
