Apple has stated that they're going to open source Swift in the future, who cares if they choose to host it on their own platform.

I haven't heard that they have announced a decision. Do you have a source for that?

Let me second this question. I have heard the equivalent of, "It's too early to be talking yet about whether we will or won't open source Swift; let's talk about that later," but I didn't interpret that to mean, "We're going to open source Swift later."

Of course, maybe I missed the memo.

As someone who uses Ruby as my primary language; I'm totally jealous of this move. While there is a github mirror, it sucks having to use Subversion for the "one true repo" when everything else I work with these days is on git.

Which will have no bearing on the case of Go. Go has already been relegated to the bottom of the quality bin for my purposes by its designer(s)' ignorance of the last 30 years of type system research and hostility towards the functional style. See: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/RKymTuSC...

Really? You've managed to mention the lack of generics on a thread announcing moving go to github? Is this a parody comment or are you serious?

Seriously. Why does every single thread about Go have to have at least 1 guy talking about lack of Generics?

Admitting Code is going nowhere, and seemingly for the first time in living memory, playing geek marketing catch-up with Microsoft :) I really love the new MS.

As someone has already mentioned Google already has stuff on Github. Dart: https://github.com/dart-lang And lots of other stuff: https://github.com/google

So does Microsoft.

https://github.com/microsoft/ and https://github.com/azure/ to name two.

I think this is Google quietly admitting that Google Code is all but dead. They will not completely get rid of it, but I would not be surprised if they switch it to read only mode sometime soon. This is a momentous move for Github, especially with Microsoft moving .NET to Github as well. As someone who loves Github immensely, this makes me happy knowing that my favourite service is going to be around for a very long…

How being on Mercurial implies that it was "away from Google code" ? It is in fact hosted on Google code currently (https://code.google.com/p/go/)

PS: Google code supports: subversion, mercurial and even git (https://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted#Workin...)

When I asked Chris Lattner a week and a half account at the LLVM dev summit, there was still no decision yet, ...

I'll believe it when I see it; I'm still waiting for the promised open-source release of the Facetime protocol.

That was canceled due to a patent lawsuit. It would have cost apple a ton of money to pay a patent troll to be able to open source FaceTime.

I'd love for them to just go read only, a TON of academic work lives on there, but its awful to use.

I much prefer Google code defect tracker to the GitHub one. But that's about the only plus of Google code. (Though, a small part of me wants mercurial to live on, but it doesn't seem like that will happen)

That defect tracker is nice. I've never used mercurial so I can't comment on that. Github keeps getting better, I'll bet if people asked for improvements to defect tracking we might get them.

Well, I doubt that Google Code engineers or project managers had much, if anything, to do with the decision to move the Go project.
