There’s a new interesting podcast about Swift:
https://www.swiftcommunitypodcast.org/
The first episode has John Sundell, Garric Nahapetian and Chris Lattner discussing (apart from other topics) the beginnings of Swift and the evolution process. (And how it feels to work mostly in C++ after you have spent years grooming your own language :–)
PS. I’m not sure how well this fits into #swift-users. Would it be a stretch to rename #site-feedback to something like #community and use it for stuff like this, too?
