At yesterday’s WWDC, a speaker introduced the Swift language by saying. “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get rid of the C?”

Instant panic!!

Does anyone know, for real, if Apple intends to stop supporting C and C++?  That’s what it sounded like.  They already do not support Fortran even though there is a *lot* of Fortran code out there, even fairly new code like MultiNest.

Please say it isn’t so.  Not all of us consider “power users” to be just those who create feature-length cartoons.  Many are scientists and engineers.

Thanks.

Michael, Michael, Michael.

You're missing the elephant in the room.

COBOL.

(That was a joke)

I just look forward to typing four extra characters in front of every variable assignment, as if this syntax verbosity from HyperTalk or AppleScript  is actually a good idea.

Next, we'll be able to enter our own line numbers!

(Those comments were also not meant to be taken seriously)
