Apple announced during the opening keynote of the WWDC 2015 the launch of the second version of its programming language, known as Swift 2.0, and the huge announcement that Apple will make Swift open source.
Apple launched Swift, its own programming language, in 2014, also at the Worldwide Developers Conference. It was introduced as a proprietary language for developing applications on iOS platforms and OS X. Swift was designed to be a next step and a significant improvement on the famous Objective C to provide a language programming that is more resistant to error.
This could lead to the development to one side backend code in Apple's programming language, which derives some of its syntax of the languages commonly used for server-side programming.
Swift has been developed on the premises of Apple by borrowing concepts of "Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C #, the CLU, and many more to the list." It was originally only available for development on Cocao Apple and Cocoa Touch API. However, because now Apple has just released Swift as open source language, developers have the opportunity to develop applications on Linux-based operating systems outside of the range of Apple products.
Apple really invests in its language
More importantly, since Swift will be open source, it will dramatically accelerate its development.
The goal of Swift was to provide a faster programming language, easier, more intuitive, not only for developers of iOS apps and OS X, but also for the whole world. "We believe that Swift is the next big programming language," said Craig Federighi Apple. "We believe that Swift must be everywhere and used by everyone," he continues.
This marks an important step in the developer community, and it sends a strong message to developers that Apple has invested in the growth of language, and the support of their work.
