Swift on the Rise

Apple’s Swift programming language is getting traction in some novel ways. Wired reports that it may soon be used in server applications, and Ben Snider has a good piece about using Swift for scripting on a Mac.

Swift is in the top 15 programming languages in terms of popularity, impressive for an 18-month-old language.

Apple still plans to open source Swift by the end of 2015. This should help it take off even more, as it is likely to be ported to other platforms quickly.
