Swift was designed for coding user-facing applications, not internet utilities.
Swift is a general purpose language. I fail to see what it lacks.
Not at all sure why it's relevant which programming languages they use at Apple. Is this considered interesting since it somehow proves the mainstream adoption of Go? Or since Apple, a competitor of Google's in cell phones, are using one of Google's technologies? Or what? The takeaway for me was that Apple has a whole /8 subnet to themselves. That's just ... immense, for a single company. Gaah. EDIT: Mis-typed the ne…
A /24 for a company of their size is nothing - they actually have the entire 17.0.0.0/8 to themselves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4_addres...

Why shouldnt someone at apple use Go. Servers/scripts/etc are not their usual focus and they dont really have an internal language that fits better. Go is pretty good at this kind of things.
I like Go, but fail to see how Swift and C++14 don't fit the bill as well. EDIT: changed to a more constructive comment.
Try repeating your point for any order of X, Y and Z, and you might realize it isn't really a valid reason for them to have used Swift or C++ instead.

Back around 1990 I had a class /16 and I was just a 14 year old. Before the web explosion it was a different time. Domains used to be free back then too!

A /24 is also only 256 addresses, so really unremarkable. I think you are reading it backwards. MIT has an /8, that's the large one.

Can you explain what that means? Which language features is Swift missing?
Even as an outspoken critic of go, I recognize that it has quite a strong networking toolset.

Using the right language for a particular domain can save you a lot of headache. Go is open source and a relatively proven choice, compared to Swift.

lol,i'm not sure why anybody would be sacked because "Google product" ;) however,I wonder why they didnt use Swift,and it's a question.
It's not as mature. Doesn't have the library and third party support. Does Apple use Mac OS for all its servers? They use Azure for some servers? That would imply they need the language to be cross-platform.
