Seems phenomenally improbable. It would basically require a ground-up rewrite of the entire app layer of Java just so that lazy iOS developers can do an even more half assed job of porting their apps over.

I'd prefer Go, and it seems weird they would consider Swift first but hey, as long as the JVM dies and we get native code I'm a happy man.

Won't help performance, that's for sure. Anyway, the post doesn't mention Dart, so has no credibility whatsoever.

Why not Rust or Go? The only reason they would pick Swift is because of existing uptake

Is Swift actually a good language, what's good about it? From a general perspective. Been using Go, and love it. Many innovative changes to basically be a C for our century. What's Swift, what have its designers learned from the past to make a better language?

This article should be taken with a good pinch of salt. It seems to be more speculation than anything else...

Curly brackets. Yuck.

can't wait that Google make this decision
