Open-sourcing it would be really cool to see. Chris Lattner last said he wasn't sure if they were going to open source it ( http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2014-June/073698.... )
Yep, we damn need a bit of more competition within bigs, right now seems just between Google and Mozilla (for the type of language).
I don't believe this is the traditional definition of "reached 1.0".
What do you mean?
Typically, when people say that a language "reached 1.0", they mean the very end of that process.

"You’ll notice we’re using the word “GM”, not “final”. That’s because Swift will continue to advance with new features, improved performance, and refined syntax" Typically, when people say that a language "reached 1.0", they mean the very end of that process.

Hey guys, do you know if swift will be ever open-sourced? After the WWDC they said that was early to think about it while in beta. So, what's the status now?
That's fantastic! Now, too bad I can't watch your video tutorials on my Macbook Pro using Chrome. Or Windows 7 using Chrome. The messaging on the site declares it requires Safari. So much of the open web... Quietly moves along to Android.
I am not the biggest Apple fan in the world, and will probably not use Swift professionally, but I'm still super enthused about it as a language and I am glad it's entering the marketplace. We're going to have sum types and type inference in a mainstream language! For the first time, professors can teach a language like SML and have a good response to the question "so how is this going to help me in the real world?"…
F#, Scala, OCaml, Haskell, Clojure already have uses at big financial corporations and bio-informatics.
However, Swift is another great way for spreading the ML gospel to mainstream developers, specially if it slowly takes Objective-C's place in Apple's heart.

They didn't need Swift for real world examples. F#, Scala, OCaml, Haskell, Clojure already have uses at big financial corporations and bio-informatics.

Especially with the move towards microservices and reactive architectures.
