I confess that I'm not really sure why are you implying that I suggest this is an isolated perspective. I don't think I suggested or implied that in any of my comments. But if that's the impression I've left you with, then I apologize.

As someone interested in programming languages and developer tools in general, I'm very curious to seeing how Apple is proceeding with Swift. It was introduced as a general language that can be used for scripting, but also server side coding, iOS, and OS X applications. As a non iOS or OS X developer, the experience of using Swift was very lacking. Learning about the perspective of OS X and iOS developers helps me see a larger picture.
