Update on the Swift Project Lead

You are just going to drop this entire project, that has its name
associated with you,
for a very fierce competitor?

However capable Ted Kremenek is, and I am sure that is, you have
collectively decided
to break this programming language every year or so.

Who is going to get behind this programming language now that it is
associated with
a turncoat?

Is this really necessary?

Chris,

While recognizing that change is the only universal constant, still I couldn't help but feel sad at the announcement of your departure from Apple. Thank you for all you helped accomplish there.

I hope that whatever endeavors you pursue are always intellectually fulfilling.

If you parse Chris e-mail carefully he says he intends to continue a core
member of the swift team. He has devoted great energy and passion on this
project as he has devoted to LLVM.

I suspect whatever Chris is to do at his new job he is invested in the
success of this project and community.

That’s pretty insulting to everybody else who works on the project (including the many contributors here).

Besides, it’s just plain wrong. Swift is a tool, and like any other tool it is judged on its intrinsic merit for a job, regardless of whichever names may be attached to it.

We have contributors from IBM, Microsoft, Uber and/or Lyft, maybe also from Facebook (not sure), Apple (obviously), and probably more. I don’t think they all decided to invest time in making Swift better because Chris Lattner told them he would always work at Apple. So chill.

Have fun working at Tesla Mr Chris Lattner!

I look forward to seeing tesla car apps that can be written in swift.
