@altavir if you have a Twitter account, feel free to engage and see if you can influence Jeremy ☝️

Actually, I don't, maybe I am a freak. Anyway, it is fools errand to influence a language-lover. It is possible to write in any language as long as writer is good, so if the guy has experience with swift and loves it, let him. After all, a lot of people like to program in Fortran.

@altavir yeah I said my piece to him already. We will see what happens. "You can bring a horse to water..." and all that

There is also prejudice against JVM and Java. You can't fight with that.

Unfortunately...

It is really hilarious to hear about Java slowness from python people 🙂 Also in my field there is a lot of Fortran/C++ guys who talk a lot about its performance and in fact write very badly optimized single-thread code.

Stop the madness!

Currently, I do not have time to play with it myself. So looking forward for your input.
