So Apple decided to give its Swift programming language to the open-source community. It isn't exclusive to Apple's platform anymore. So now we can write Swift code on and for Linux.
Are you as excited? It seems like an improved version of Java that Apple used to use on its computers before abandoning it in favor of Objective-C. Or maybe I am wrong with this analogy and chronology.
Tuples as a a language construct seem exciting, from my Java days I remember how much effort one had to put into making a method return two values of different types at the same time.
Swift can now be found at
http://swift.org
Looks promising...
