Nge-3 kaDisemba, i-Apple yagcina isithembiso sayo kwaye yenza Swift, ulwimi lwayo lwenkqubo, Umthombo ovulekileyo. Kungekudala emva koko, usekela-mongameli we-Apple wesoftware, UCraig Federighi wanika isibini udliwano-ndlebe ethetha ngezizathu zokuba babefuna ukwenza ulwimi lwabo umthombo ovulekileyo kwaye yintoni ikamva elilindelweyo, ikamva ukuba, ukuba ufunda iindaba zobuchwepheshe, ingakumbi kwi-intanethi, uya kuba waqaphela kakhulu, zithembisa kakhulu.
Into yokuqala athetha ngayo uFederighi zizinto ezafunyanwa nguApple kwiveki yokuqala awayeyiyo uSwift umthombo ovulekileyo, kwaye uSwift nguye olona lwimi lusebenzayo kwiGitHub. Enkosi kulo msebenzi, iqela le-Swift liqhagamshelwe ngakumbi nabaphuhlisi kunalo naliphi na elinye iqela kwinkampani ye-Cupertino, kwaye bavuya kakhulu ngelixa besebenzisa ulwimi olutsha. Ngapha koko, nokuba nenjongo, uza kuthini usekela-mongameli we-Apple malunga nokukhutshwa okutsha? Nangona mhlawumbi kuyinyani, akufuneki ndithethe ngenye indlela.
Iqela le-iCloud sele liqalisile ukusebenzisa i-Swift kwiiprojekthi ezininzi, kwaye iqela le-OS X likwasebenza ukuguqula imiba yeqonga kulwimi olutsha lwenkqubo. Ngokukodwa, iDokhi kunye nomphathi wefestile we-OS X. Amaqela aqaphela ukuba yintoni eluncedo kwaye yintoni engekhoyo, kodwa bahlala befumana iindlela zokusebenzisa i-Swift xa bekwazi. Njengakuyo yonke into, isiko kunye namava athatha isigqibo sokusebenzisa into esiyaziyo okanye entsha.
Ngokumalunga nokuvuleka kolwimi, uFederighi uthe eyona nto ingcono kukuba ngoku lungafundiswa ezikolweni kwihlabathi liphela. UTim Cook ukholelwa ukuba inkqubo kufuneka ifundiswe kuzo zonke izikolo zikarhulumente eMelika kwaye iSwift ngumthombo ovulekileyo ivumela oku kunokwenzeka. Kwi-Cupertino bakholelwa ukuba i-Swift iya kuba yi- ulwimi oluphambili kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo.
UFederighi ukwavuma ukuba inyani yokuba iSwift ingumthombo ovulekileyo ayibancedi kangako kodwa, kwelinye icala, ilungile. ilungile kubaphuhlisi walo naliphi na iqonga, nangona esazi ukuba uninzi lwalo msebenzi abaphuhlisi aluyi kunxulumana nayo nayiphi na imveliso ye-Apple. Ngale ndlela, unokuthi ukwenza ulwimi kwi-Open Source sisenzo sobubele.
