Apple's Next Big Language

In June, 2014, Apple wowed the world with its revelation of the Swift programming language. For years, Mac and iOS developers have speculated about whether and when Apple would create a new language. But for some old timers, Apple has always been creating and adopting new languages. In this talk, Daniel will take you on a historical journey of some of Apple’s more and less well-known pushes to get developers on board with their "big new language."
