The bigger issue, I think, is that apps using Cocoa APIs have to continue to run against existing Cocoa frameworks. If this means that Cocoa frameworks can’t be modularized/namespaced, then there’ll never be a solution to Richard’s “context” problem.
Note that the above statement doesn’t mention language at all. It’s an ABI compatibility problem, and I was apparently too naive in hoping that the advent of Swift would bring a solution to that problem.

This is the second time in a week I’ve looked at code and failed to distinguish which language it was written in. This is a little worrying. Are we going to have to have public service announcements for developers converting to Swift? (“This is your brain. This is your brain on Swift.”)
