I'm going to be teaching myself Swift as an additional language. Come learn with me!
Its hard to set aside time to learn new things when I already feel strapped for time, so here I am using it during school time!
Swift is developed and backed by Apple.
It is intended to be released as open source later this year? This year is running out apple!
They wanted a more user friendly language in order to program future iOS apps
It is intended to replace Objective C. It is completely backwards compatible because you can run straight Objective C right next to your Swift code!
Because it was written by programmers from multiple different programming backgrounds, it utilizes many ideas and strengths from other languages
There are almost 'easter egg' like utilities like comments that use markdown formatting
PLAYGROUNDS!
