[Year 12 SofDev] YAPL - Swift, from Apple

[ATKINSON-BUCK, Damien]

Hmmm, free cars vs a new programming language for Apple. Pretty sure I know which one I’d go for.
But even better, a driverless Apple car would be cool, with the added bonus of you could tell Siri where to go! ☺

Yet Another Programming Language. This one from Apple...

"When Apple unveiled a new programming language at its World Wide Developers Conference on Monday, the place went “nuts,” erupting with raucous cheers and applause. It was the coding-world equivalent of Oprah giving away all those free cars."

Whatever happened to good ol' FORTRAN, I wonder?
write (6,*) "Sigh."
