Swift? Future?

Question

Is swift really ever going to become one of the more popular programming languages and is it worth learning it? Any feedback is welcome :).

Answer 1

I don't think so. I think Swift is simply going to replace Objective-C and no more. The fact that Apple doesn't provide cross-platform compilers is an indication that they don't intend for it to be a mainstream language.

Answer 2

I feel like it could be if Apple would cooperate, but all they’ve done was make it very difficult to run on anything but iOS devices, until recently it was impossible.

Answer 3

Thank you for your answers :). Those are good points and I'll keep them in my mind. Cheers
