Finally, another web engine is being developed to compete with Chromium and Firefox (Gecko), and they’re also working on a browser that will use it.

It’s also open-source? Like, Microsoft created C# and Typescript. Google created Go. Those get used without people bringing up their origins. Hell,
RustJavascript* was created by a homophobe. What, do you think the license lets Apple close-source everyone’s code if they choose or something?Sorry, I’m just really tired of these low-effort comments. The only thing that should matter is the language and if it hits the goals the project needs.
Sorry, I was thinking of Javascript. Rust was a different Mozilla employee.
makes sense, though. javascript is a very bad language :shrug:
May I recommend editing your comment?
Honestly, I really should have already, but spaced on it. Thank you for reminding me.
Sure. It is open source, but the development is done by Apple engineers. I also would like to state that Go has trackers in it. I also don’t really care what the creator of a language is. Homophobe, sexist, racist or other similar stuff, I couldn’t care less as long as the language is good.
You couldn’t care, as long as the language is good, but you care when it’s Apple?
You’re wrong btw. Sure, Apple engineers developed it originally. But it is now in the hands of the open source community, with over 1,000 contributors on github: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift
Edit: To be clear, unlike something like Chromium, Apple doesn’t even own the repositories anymore. It’s fully independent.
I said:
Why wouldn’t I care if the language is bad in my opinion?
Okay, so what’s bad about Swift?
