    Apple Makes Swift 2 Programming Language Open-Source

    At last year's Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple unveiled a new programming language called Swift. Basically, it was a new way for coders to put their creativity into motion. With the brevity of a language like Python, but the power of a language like Objective C, there was plenty of excitement. Swift 2 will be released before the end of the year, while iOS 9 will be a public beta starting in July, meaning developers can get an early look then. Interestingly, Apple is also releasing developer tools for Linux, meaning writing apps for Apple platforms will no longer require owning an Apple platform.

      But, of course, developers are a demanding bunch, and they wanted more. This year, Apple's giving it to them - but, more importantly, Apple's giving them the keys to take care of themselves.

        Developers will be able to look under the hood of the programming language and, potentially, extend it. This could be a boon for the fledgling language -- or it could just be a talking point.
