Just like FaceTime. It won't happen and all the rumors and gossip based on a few comments will just give false hope to people. Swift was designed to lock-in developers just when objc java converters were gaining popularity.
My understanding is that FaceTime was not opened up more due to the VirnetX lawsuit, and the subsequent redesign that meant all video streams were proxied through Apple servers. So, I think it's more complex than you're admitting.

First I've heard of this. Glad there was actually reasoning behind not making it open as promising that and then going back on it without telling anyone why was very strange.
