Somehow it seems that currently everything happening in the USA is "Dead on Arrival" - including Swift.

This time due to shipping an utterly broken compiler to an unfinished language, without being able to contribute to it. Because if we could contribute to it, Swift might still be soon something that people love to use. But I somehow really don't believe that this will ever truly happen.

Yeah. Like D, Haskell, Hurd, LaTeX3e and all the other "open for contributions" stuff that people can't get enough off...


I'm not really sure how to interpret your comment, since it is possible to contribute to all of those and they are de facto loved by the community…
