Chapter 269 Absentees at the Developer Conference (continued)

This may lead to more severe antitrust charges.

But before the verdict is handed down, Apple, Microsoft's biggest enemy and Jobs's life's work, will disappear.

In short, no matter how you measure it, this behavior has the element of helping the enemy.

But this kind of funding for the enemy actually happened.

Perhaps Microsoft feels that it is difficult to survive without rivals.

Many times one is lonely without business rivals.

At the same time, it is also very dangerous to have no business competitors.

If you have no business rivals, you will probably suffer from all kinds of invisible giants in the legal, economic and cultural fields.

Of course, this realm is still far away from Lin Hui.

However, Lin Hui is quite looking forward to reaching this level.

Although this is still a bit far away, it is not out of reach.

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 conjectures from Lin Hui.

In its previous life, the SWIFT language was the real core killer of the 2014 Apple Worldwide 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 Objective-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 can be performed, 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 a secret as WWDC is approaching, right?

Know that preheating is not just for heating up the activity.

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 it was the end of June and there was no such sound.

The SWIFT language should be directly compared to this Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.

As for why a product as powerful and important as the Swift language has been eclipsed by Apple's 2014 WWDC, 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 normal for a major project to have something unexpected happen.

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

Not to mention projects in the computer field, it is common for projects to be overturned and started over just 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 the 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 basic architecture, 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 was very interested in analyzing this situation. 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 Swift language development team is a bit weird.

In this case, even the Swift development team 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 though the Swift language project has suffered a setback, the project and the project team at least exist.

This already falls into the category of optimistic estimates.

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.

Lin Hui’s above judgment on the Swift language is also subjective.

In his heart, Lin Hui hopes that the Swift 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.

For example, the fact that the Swift language failed to come to fruition as promised is just a small ripple in the two dimensions of time and space.

But given the importance of the Swift 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, we 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 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.
