Thanks. Demand must be tremendous because that site doesn't respond either.
Inside Swift

Re: Inside Swift
#22I think Apple has been clear that much of the underlying mechanics of Swift remain tightly coupled with the ObjC runtime, which makes sense if you think that Swift code must interoperate with all the existing Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and third-party code written in Objective-C (thus also allowing Apple to hedge its bet in case Swift tanks with developers).
What's _really_ going to be interesting going forward is whether Apple introduces new features in the runtime that are only available to Swift code, or whether it starts making change to the runtime that favour Swift over Objective-C—and that's probably going to tell us when the latter is to be considered a legacy language.

Thanks for this link. The site still seems to be down, 9 hours later.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Grandparent was probably out of line (saurik's comment provided useful information that went beyond me too-ism), but I can understand why one would be wary. Its hard to keep up with who is legit, and there has been a lot of me tooism lately. At least no one has started writing any horrible books on Swift yet.
I am not certain I understand the problem with "me too-ism". Hacker News is a discussion forum: if I go into the comments on a post, what I am expecting to find is more information about the topic written by other people... if someone links to a related project or an article with more detail, I don't see how that's a problem. In this case, I am actually featured prominently in this article--it isn't just that I know…
Pleas not I wasn't accusing you of me too-ism, I realize what I wrote was ambiguous.

I did get that, but you did say that people might should be "wary", and I found it a little confusing as I don't really understand the concept of this "me tooism" as a problem. (I also was addressing both your comment about it being difficult to keep track of people who are "legit" by pointing out my direct connection in the article, but that response was more to the thread as a whole.)
