apple swift

[juan_gandhi]

So, with the new "Apple language", object-oriented Java people are going to do what?
There must be some deep philosophy, explaining why they are so retarded.
I think.

I mean, I kind of heard an explanation from Josh; in my translation it sounds like this: "Java programmers are not very smart anyway, let's not overload them with closures and all that stuff."

The correlation I was writing about lately kind of shows itself again.
Weird.

Well, it's not Scala, of course; but it's a nice step in the right direction, I think.

Closures may be not The Comfortable Thing and not the nostrum to be used everywhere, but they're The Right Thing to have because of their theoretical profoundness. SICP explain in depth how to use them to build higher-level primitives.

A higher level primitive ... how might that differ from an ordinary C++ class?
