Time Travel: 2014

As for what Huang Jing mentioned now, Lin Hui actually didn't take it too seriously.

Compared with these upcoming things introduced by Huang Jing.

Lin Hui was actually more concerned about the things Huang Jing didn't mention.

Just like Elizabeth Nice did not mention the Swift language before.

Huang Jing also did not mention the swift language.

This couldn't help but trigger some speculations in Lin Hui.

In the previous life, the SWIFT language was the real core killer of the 2014 Apple Global Developers Conference.

It was even evaluated by the media as the biggest surprise of the entire 2014 Global Developers Conference.

In its previous life, the Swift language was a powerful and intuitive programming language.

Such a programming language is available for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Apple tvOS, and watchOS.

Swift's syntax is simple yet expressive, and it includes modern features that developers love.

According to Apple's description, Swift code is secure by design and enables the development of software that runs lightning fast.

In the previous life, the Swift language was developed by Apple and was intended to replace Objective-C.

Developers can continue to develop in Swift based on Objective-C and C languages.

Swift is much simpler than the previous Object-C, removing many cumbersome code symbols, and its execution efficiency is much higher.

Moreover, the difficulty of development should also be reduced accordingly;

Swift adopts visual programming design. Users can write code while viewing the actual running effect of the code.

Real-time preview is possible, which greatly improves the efficiency of programming.

In Apple's own words, programming has never been easier.

Why is there no news about this big killer at WWDC in his previous life?

Is it still being kept secret and left to create surprises? ?

Or is it that SWIFT language will be directly absent from this Apple Developer Conference?

Lin Hui felt that it was most likely the latter.

After all, it has been warmed up for several rounds before.

There's no reason why we should keep it secret as WWDC is approaching, right?

Understand that preheating is not just about heating up the event.

In fact, it is also a test of the audience.

If a tool that is used as a tool is not warmed up in advance, it will be a slap in the face if there are a lot of objections.

A company like Apple that is well versed in marketing would probably not do this.

Lin Hui felt that even at the end of June, such a sound had not been heard.

The SWIFT language should directly compete with Apple's Global Developers Conference.

As for why a product as powerful and important as the Swift language has been ignored by Apple 2014WWDC, a global developer event?

Lin Hui thinks it may be because of the delay in the development progress of the Swift language in this time and space.

It seems that it is normal for a major project to have unexpected events.

Especially for such major commercial projects, accidents are very common.

Not to mention projects in the computer field, it is often overturned and started all over again because of some nonsense.

What's more, the development team of the Swift language in the previous life has repeatedly had disagreements since 2012.

Even in his previous life around 2017, Chris Lattner left the Swift language development team directly.

Chris Lattner has always been the backbone of the Swift language development team.

Chris Lattner has been designing the Swift programming language since July 2010 in his previous life.

After completing the infrastructure, Chris led the development team to complete syntax design, compiler, runtime, framework, IDE and documentation and other related work.

It is precisely because of the prominent role played by Chris Lattner.

Therefore, this person has always been called the "Father of Swift Language".

It is really strange that a programming language development team can drive away the backbone of the team.

The reason why Lin Hui still remembers this incident is because Lin Hui remembered that his friends used to talk about it for fun.

My friend originally analyzed this situation with great interest. Either Chris Lattner, the so-called "father of the Swift language", is too aloof and unsociable.

Or maybe Chris Lattner's colleagues are too fucked up.

But no matter what the reason is, it can't be concealed that the entire development team of the Swift programming language is a bit strange.

In this case, even the development team of the Swift programming language in this time and space still exists as in the previous time and space.

It seems normal to have accidents.

This is not Lin Hui’s poison. In fact, Lin Hui’s judgment that “this time and space Swift language project has been frustrated” is already very friendly.

At least according to Lin Hui's judgment, even if the Swift programming language project has suffered a setback, the project and the project team at least exist.

This is already an optimistic estimate.

Personal judgments are generally very subjective. Judgments with many subjective components are not so much judgments based on all objective conditions, but rather a kind of judgment based on people's expectations rooted deep in their hearts. Just a belief/explanation.

The judgment made by Lin Hui on the Swift language is also subjective.

In his heart, Lin Hui hopes that the Swift programming language project team can exist.

A tiny butterfly flapping its wings can cause a storm in the Americas.

Although there are many minor differences between the two time and space, Lin Hui has become accustomed to them.

But this does not mean that Lin Hui is still turning a blind eye.

The fact that a programming language like Swift cannot come as promised is just a small ripple in the two dimensions of time and space.

But given the importance of the Swift programming language to Apple's software.

If there are major changes in a language like Swift.

Lin Hui is not sure what the collateral effects will be.

Although as a mere outsider, even if Pingcheng goes bankrupt, he may not lose anything.

But Lin Hui didn't really want to see this happen.

Lin Hui doesn't want to see this happen, at least in the short term.

In the short term, Lin Hui still hopes to use Ping Pingchun to harvest wool.

If there are relatively big changes in Pingcheng's major projects.

This kind of thing is something Lin Hui doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Lin Hui subjectively hopes that the Swift programming language project will exist.

As for why such a language project has to be eliminated from WWDC, Lin Hui would rather believe that such a programming language is just a setback in research.

However, the world is objective, at least not based on personal subjective consciousness.

From a purely objective perspective, Lin Hui's previous subjective judgment may have been a bit too optimistic.

The Swift language in its previous life is the latest research result of programming languages ​​in the computer field.

This programming language is almost a fusion of decades of experience from the previous Pingchun platform.

Although this language incorporates a lot of Apple experience.

However, the development process of such a language is developed on Swift.org in an open source form.

In its previous life, its source code, bug tracker, forums, and regular development releases were open to everyone.

In the previous life of the SWIFT language, internal Apple employees collaborated with hundreds of external contributors.

In this way, the Swift language in previous generations can quickly support all Apple platforms and Linux.
